=rsync=

==Laptop to PC==

The following line works from my main Desktop to grab the Download folder in the laptop and update the contents of my drives on this Desktop:

jphf@DC266 Download]$ rsync -v -r f9@F9E:/home/f9/Download/* /sharedraid/matos/

'''you don't need to be root,'''

rsync is the name of the software you use to "Remotely Sync" folders,

-v or --verbose stands for, well, verbosity and does that,
-r or --recursive tells it to dig down further into the Directory Tree, otherwise it just catches files in the source folder,

'''First, your SOURCE target:'''

f9@F9E tells it to log as user '''f9''' on the remote '''F9E''' machine, our laptop
f9@F9E:/home/f9/Download/* tells it then to take ALL in /home/f9/Download/

''that of course only works if you declared your machines in /etc/hosts; otherwise, just use their IP addresses, it'll do the same''

'''Then, your RECEIVING target:'''
/sharedraid/matos/ is where I will get all the F9E Download's folder items.

That's useful because it's the Laptop, being the less Energy-Hungry, that does all the downloads here on a quite 24/7/365 basis
(What I do with all these bytes is my problem) and today my wife leaves on duty travel and needs it, so I will continue the last tor
rent with this PowerHog of DualCore 2.66.

==Pod to PC (on same machine)==
Now then, what about old-school filesharing, pod-exchanging? In all fairness, updating the music folder should be:

jphf@DC266 Download]$ rsync -v -r /media/YOURIPOD/path/to/wusic/* /path/to/your/music/

That's with your pod attached to the same computer, and that's too with a non-mac pod that runs [http://www.rockbox.org RockBox] :)

==Movies on Laptop to Desktop (over network)==
'''Movies''' from Laptop to RAID array on DC266

rsync -v -r f9@F9E:/home/f9/Videos/* /sharedraid/movies/

==from netbook, take from Laptop==

From Acer, get Pictures from Asus to AcerOne, the whole shebang:

rsync -v -r f9@AA1:/home/f9/Pictures/* /home/user/Pictures/

=Summary again=

'''from receiving mahine''': rsync -rv user@machine:/path/to/folder /path/to/folder/to/copy/to

'''from old, sending machine''': rsync -rv /path/to/archive user@machine:/path/to/folder
