Rsync helps you to keep two folders in sync. This is possible over the network or local.
over the network
The following command sends the directory /srv/www/htdocs over to server:
rsync -avv --stats --progress --partial /srv/www/htdocs server:/srv/www
- Common mistake
- There is a difference between /srv/www/htdocs and /srv/www/htdocs/.
locally
Copy a folder .VirtualBox to /root:
rsync -avv --stats --progress --partial .VirtualBox/ /root/.VirtualBox
