Remote Synchronization: rsync

• OpenSSH transport: quick and easy, encrypted, no setup required

you@box1:~$ rsync -ha /home/you/folder you@box2:/home/you/ you@box2's password: you@box1:~$

Yep, it's that easy. There's also rsync daemon mode – no encryption (can be good or bad), some setup needed, but offers file filtering, host limiting, and more.

you@box1:~$ rsync box2:: myshare you@box1:~$ rsync -ha /home/you/folder box2::myshare/
