Rsync-files-to-remote-host

--

Simple commands should do the job for u:

rsync -avhe ssh --delete /home/user1/dir/ [email protected]:dir/

If you want to know how fast the transfer is going

rsync --progress -avhe ssh --delete /home/user1/dir/ [email protected]:dir/

use the --dry-run option with your commands to run through the transfer first,

without actually copying or synching files.

Resume scp of a big file

It can resume a failed secure copy ( usefull when you transfer big files like db dumps through vpn ) using rsync.

It requires rsync installed in both hosts.

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh $file_source $user@$host:$destination_file local -> remote

or

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh $user@$host:$remote_file $destination_file remote -> local

Create a mirror of a local folder, on a remote server

Create a exact mirror of the local folder "/root/files", on remote server 'remote_server' using SSH command (listening on port 22) (all files & folders on destination server/folder will be deleted)

rsync -avPi /root/files user@remote:/root/files

or 

rsync -e "/usr/bin/ssh -p22" -a --progress --stats --delete -l -z -v -r -p 
/root/files/ user@remote_server:/root/files/

rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
via a fast differencing algorithm.

Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER
HOST:DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST

SRC on single-colon remote HOST will be expanded by remote shell SRC on server remote HOST may contain shell wildcards or multiple

  sources separated by space as long as they have same top-level
