Title: Rsync on SME 7
Post by: Teviot on November 15, 2006, 08:05:19 AM

Can anyone tell me how to rsync http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/iso/ to an Ibay on SME Sever v7.0?

I have looked at some rsync information and can't make head nor tail of it.  Please help with the commands to set this up?

I want to have it so it automatically updates as file change.

Be resourceful !

man rsync
would tell you
or
search these forums on rsync as the commands have been posted a number of times previously
or
this should do it, include the space and dot at the end, and it's all on one line
rsync --recursive --verbose --archive --partial --progress rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .

I love it how people give you something to look at when the question and explaination of what someone want to do is in the original message

If you can't make head or tail of it do you expect us to guess what you cant make head or tail of ?
Snap out of your self involved world.
You have to say specifically with examples what you did, what did or didn't happen, what you thought should have happened and then maybe people can give more specific answers.

Did you not understand that my answer was the actual rsync command to download the iso file, although it appears to be a link in the post (that happened after the event).

> I want to have it so it automatically updates as file change.

I didn't answer that, but a cron job using the rsync command given would probably achieve what you want.


If you don't understand an answer, say so, but please don't berate someone for giving an answer that you couldn't understand or thought was something else !!!
