fpsync

Execute several synchronization processes locally or on several remote workers through SSH. More information: https://www.fpart.org/fpsync/.

• Recursively synchronize a directory to another location:

fpsync -v {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}

• Recursively synchronize a directory with the final pass (It enables rsync's --delete option with each synchronization job):

fpsync -v -E {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}

• Recursively synchronize a directory to a destination using 8 concurrent synchronization jobs:

fpsync -v -n 8 -E {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}

• Recursively synchronize a directory to a destination using 8 concurrent synchronization jobs spread over two remote workers (machine1 and machine2):

fpsync -v -n 8 -E -w login@machine1 -w login@machine2 -d {{/path/to/shared/directory}} {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}

• Recursively synchronize a directory to a destination using 4 local workers, each one transferring at most 1000 files and 100 MB per synchronization job:

fpsync -v -n 4 -f 1000 -s $((100 * 1024 * 1024)) {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}

• Recursively synchronize any directories but exclude specific .snapshot* files (Note: options and values must be separated by a pipe character):

fpsync -v -O "-x|.snapshot*" {{/path/to/source/}} {{/path/to/destination/}}
