The Rsync application was designed to be an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer.
Here are some key features of "Rsync":
· can update whole directory trees and filesystems
· optionally preserves symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times
· requires no special privileges to install
· internal pipelining reduces latency for multiple files
· can use rsh, ssh or direct sockets as the transport
· supports anonymous rsync which is ideal for mirroring
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed a --read-batch hang when rsync is reading a batch file that was created from an incremental-recursion transfer.
· Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
· multiple connections.
· Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that have consecutive slashes in the value.
· Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
· The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
· avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
· Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
· an I/O during the sending of the file list.
· Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
· start of the short options.
· Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
· 23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
· Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
· Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the receiving side ...
