#Use rsync to sync to remote system as user over remote shell compressing transfer and without crossing filesystem boundaries
\nrsync -avzx -e ssh \/var\/www\/ user@remote_host:\/var\/www\/<\/p>\n
#Use rsync to sync to remote system as user over remote shell skipping files that are newer on the remote server
\nrsync -avzxu -e ssh \/var\/www\/ user@remote_host:\/var\/www\/<\/p>\n
Pushing files with rsync
\nrsync -a ~\/dir1 user@remote_host:\/var\/www\/<\/p>\n
Pulling files with rsync
\nrsync -a user@remote_host:\/home\/user\/dir1 \/var\/www<\/p>\n
#To see which files need to be synced:
\nrsync -n –dry-run -av \/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/. remote_host:\/var\/www\/vhosts\/domain.com\/.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
-a = archive which basically means use recursion and preserve symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc.(not hard links)
\n-v = verbose
\n-z = compression
\n-n = dry run
\n-h = human readable
\n-P = progress bar for the transfers and allows you to resume interrupted transfers
\n-u = skip files that are newer on the receiver
\n–delete option allows deletions from destination if not in source
\n–dry-run
\n–exclude=pattern_to_exclude excludes items matching the pattern (Good practice to run with –dry-run first to be sure)<\/p>\n
* By default, rsync does not delete anything from the destination directory.
