To set up an rsync
server simply install the
rsync
package then copy
/usr/share/doc/rsync/sample-rsyncd.conf.gz to
/etc/rsyncd.conf. Edit it to perhaps turn logging on:
log file=/var/log/rsyncd
...
transfer logging = yes
|
Make sure that port 873 is allowed through your firewall. Add the
following line to /etc/inetd.conf:
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
|
Then restart inetd by sending it a HUP.
The rsync
server works with modules. Modules are defined
in the configuration file. A list of modules is returned from an rsync
server when the server is queried:
$ rsync datamining.csiro.au::
debianbook Graham's Debian GNU/Linux Survival Guide
|
For each module (debianbook in the above) you identify a
it's configuration, including a path to where it lives, for example:
[debianbook]
comment = Graham's Debian GNU/Linux Survival Guide
path = /var/www/debian/book
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nogroup
transfer logging = yes
...
|
To get a directory listing from an rsync
server:
$ rsync datamining.csiro.au::debianbook/
|
To have your local server start up at boot time add the following to
/etc/inetd.conf:
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
|
After editing the /etc/rsyncd.conf file be sure to send the
process a HUP signal.
