rsync
Transfer files either to or from a remote host (not between two remote hosts). Can transfer single files, or multiple files matching a pattern.
- Transfer file from local to remote host:
rsync {{path/to/file}} {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_host_location}}
- Transfer file from remote host to local:
rsync {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file_location}} {{local_file_location}}
- Transfer file in archive (to preserve attributes) and compressed (zipped) mode with verbose and human-readable progress:
rsync -azvhP {{path/to/file}} {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_host_location}}
- Transfer a directory and all its children from a remote to local:
rsync -r {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_directory_location}} {{local_directory_location}}
- Transfer directory contents (but not the directory itself) from a remote to local:
rsync -r {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_folder_location}}/ {{local_folder_location}}
- Transfer only updated files from remote host:
rsync -ru {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_directory_location}} {{local_directory_location}}
- Transfer file over SSH and delete local files that do not exist on remote host:
rsync -e ssh --delete {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file}} {{local_file}}
- Transfer file over SSH and show global progress:
rsync -e ssh --info=progress2 {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file}} {{local_file}}
