Easiest way to sync two folders
What's the easiest way to sync the contents of a folder on a Mac OSX machine with another folder on a Linux server?
You can use scp
:
scp -r /path/to/folder/ username@IP_ADDRESS:/path/to/sync/with
But scp
is slow and copies all files, regardless of whether or not they exist on the server. What are some other options?
install something like homebrew or macports to install rsync on the mac.. and use rsync
rsync -av /path/to/folder/ username@IP_ADDRESS:/path/to/sync/with
