Rsync – force chmod

Example

# rsync -av --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=Du=rwx,Dg=rx,Do=rx,Fu=rw,Fg=r,Fo=r /source/path/ username@IP:/destination/path

(remove -v if it's in a CRON)

# rsync -av --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=Du=rwx,Dg=rx,Do=rx,Fu=rw,Fg=r,Fo=r /source/path/ [email protected]:/destination/path

(remove -v if it's in a CRON)

Linux Cloud Server migration script

This script allows you to migrate a Linux Server from one server to another one. It uses rsync and it could be use when you need to resize down a server for example, or if you want to migrate onto another Cloud Provider.

git clone git://github.com/cloudnull/InstanceSync.git

1	git clone git://github.com/cloudnull/InstanceSync.git

Mac – Upgrade rsync to version 3

Quick method:

change /private/etc/paths putting ahead /usr/local/...

<span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/bin</span>
<span style="color: #ff0000;">/usr/local/sbin</span>
/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

/usr/local/bin

/usr/local/sbin

/bin

/usr/bin

/usr/sbin

/sbin

Then, unzip this precompiled rsync into /usr/local/bin

Restart the Terminal and run

rsync --version

1	rsync --version

This should be the output:

rsync version <span style="color: #ff0000;">3.0.9</span> protocol version 30
