Tracking the Progress of Rsync Transfers
In my first introductory rsync post, How To Synchronize Directories with Rsync, I’ve shown you the most basic approach to syncing two directories up. Today, I’d like to show you another useful thing you can do with rsync.
Just to remind you all, rsync is a remote synchronization tool. This means that its primary use lies in the filed of synchronizing files and directories between remote Unix systems, but I feel that it’s really important for you to understand the basics before moving on to more advanced stuff.
The beauty of rsync is that its syntax and command line options are exactly the same for local and remote directories synchronizations, so it’s not like you’ll have to learn it all from scratch when I show you the real world usage of rsync in my next post.
