rsync

Transfers a file either to or from a remote host. Does not allow transfer between two remote hosts. Can transfer single files or files matched by pattern.

Transfer file from local to remote host:

rsync {{path_to_file}} {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_host_location}}

Transfer file from remote host to local:

rsync {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file_location}} {{local_file_location}}

Transfer all *.js files in current directory to host 'devbox' as user 'mike':

rsync *.js mike@devbox:~/projects/cakeStore/styles/

Transfer a directory and all its children from a remote to local:

rsync -r mike@devbox:~/projects/cakeStore /Users/mike/devProjects/

Transfer only updated files from remote host:

rsync -ru mike@devbox:~/projects/ ./projects/

Transfer file over SSH and show progress:

rsync -e ssh --progress {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file}} {{local_file}}
