Rsync Installation Guide

I. Environment:

OS: SunOS

Compiler: GCC 4.2.4

Perl 5.8.7

Make 3.81

Ii. Required Software

Rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz

3. Install software

1, installation process: Tar xvzf rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz

CD rsync-3.0.7

./Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/rsync

(Note: For Unix machines, the default compiler is CC, and compilation fails. You need to set it to GCC:

Cc = GCC./configure -- prefix =/usr/local/rsync)

Make

Make install

Parameter description: -- prefix specifies the directory where Rsync is to be installed.

2. Rsync Configuration

/Etc/rsyncd. conf (it is not available by default and can be created manually)

# Global Options

Strict modes = yes # Check the permission of the password file

Port = 873 # default port 873

Log File =/var/log/rsyncd. log # log record file

PID file =/usr/local/rsync/rsyncd. pid # Where to write the ID of the running process

# Module options

[Test] # The Authentication Module name must be specified on the client.

Max connections = 5 # maximum number of client connections. The default value is 0 (no limit)

Uid = livedoorcn # specify the UID that the daemon should have when the module transfers files

Gid = livedoorcn # specify the GID that the daemon should have when the module transfers files

Path =/home/rsync_test # directory for backup

Ignore errors # ignore unrelated Io errors

Read Only = No # No client can upload files, Yes read-only

Write only = No # No client can download files, yes cannot download

Hosts allow = * # allow any host connection

Hosts deny = 10.5.3.77 # disable specified host connection

Auth users = livedoorcn # The authenticated user name. If this line is not displayed, it indicates that it is anonymous.

Secrets file =/usr/local/rsync/rsyncd. scrt # specify the location of the authentication Password File

3. Generate the rsync Password File

Generate a password file/usr/local/rsync/rsyncd. scrt on the server.

VI rsyncd. scrt

--------- Content ----------

Livedoorcn :******

---------- End -------------

Note: The permission for the password file is set by the parameters in rsyncd. conf.

Strict modes = yes/no

4. Rsync startup

Rsycn has many startup methods. Here we will introduce the following:

●. Daemon mode:

/Usr/local/rsync/bin/rsync -- daemon

●. Inetd method:

Add the following to/etc/services:

Rsync 873/tcp

Then add the following to/etc/inetd. conf:

Rsync stream tcp Nowait root/usr/local/bin/rsync rsyncd -- daemon

●. Add RC. Local (FreeBSD)

Edit/etc/rc. d/rc. Local and add:

/Usr/local/bin/rsync -- daemon

5. Verify that the startup is successful.

PS-Aux | grep rsync

Root 59120 0.0 0.2 1460 972 ?? SS pm. 00/usr/local/rsync/bin/rsync-daemon

Netstat-an | grep 873

Tcp4 0 0 *. 873 *. * listen

6. Install the rsync client (here the server and client are the same machine)

Installation environment: FreeBSD 6.0-release

Software: rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz

Installation path:/usr/local/rsync

: Http://rsync.samba.org/

Installation Process: Tar xvzf rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz

CD rsync-3.0.7

./Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/rsync

Make

Make install

Parameter description: -- prefix specifies the directory where Rsync is to be installed.

Now, the installation process is complete.

7. instance demonstration

CD/usr/local/rsync/bin

Download files

./Rsync-vzrtopg -- Progress -- delete colin@10.5.3.98: Test/tmp/rsync

Upload files

./Rsync-vzrtopg -- Progress -- delete/tmp/rsync colin@10.5.3.98: Test

8. Rsync synchronization Parameters

-In vzrtopg, V is verbose, z is compression, R is recursive, and topg is a parameter that maintains the original file attributes, such as owner and time.

-- Progress indicates that the detailed progress is displayed.

-- Delete: if the server deletes the file, the client also deletes the file.

Colin in colin@10.5.3.98 is the user name in the specified password file

: Test refers to the module name defined in rsyncd. conf.

/Tmp/rsync refers to the local directory to be backed up
