Availability and IPv6 support

Name

Supported operating systems

rsync

Description

A network file distribution/synchronization utility. rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. rsyns uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. This makes rsync a good remote file distribution/synchronization utility in a dialup PPP/SLIP environment. Note, requires rsync on the destination machine.
