Re: updating server with rsync????

[Ron DuFresne]

The key here is that the user doing the rsync process has enough 
permissions to read all the files of the other users, and that -pog are 
included in the parms passed to rsync <which is the default if -a is 
used>.  Something like;

<as root perhaps or a user included in all the groups of all the other 
users and the dirs/files have proper group settings>

cd filesys-tosync

rsync -azvv . [EMAIL PROTECTED]:file-sys-mirror

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

Hi,
I have 2 ftp servers with 3 identical users.
I want server B to be updated of server A.
Whatever changes mmade by users on server A should be made on server B
say every 5 hours.
   

As long as it is unidirectional, yes.

 

Is rsync the right tool to use here?
Can rsync be used such that only changed files are downloaded?
   

That's what rsync does.
