rsync

Transfer files either to or from a remote host (not between two remote hosts).

Can transfer single files, or multiple files matching a pattern.

More information.

• Transfer file from local to remote host:

rsync {path/to/local_file} {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_directory}

• Transfer file from remote host to local:

rsync {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_file} {path/to/local_directory}

• Transfer file in [a]rchive (to preserve attributes) and compressed ([z]ipped) mode with [v]erbose and [h]uman-readable [P]rogress:

rsync -azvhP {path/to/local_file} {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_directory}

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

rsync -r {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_directory} {path/to/local_directory}

• Transfer directory contents (but not the directory itself) from a remote to local:

rsync -r {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_directory}/ {path/to/local_directory}

• Transfer a directory [r]ecursively, in [a]rchive to preserve attributes, resolving contained soft[l]inks , and ignoring already transferred files [u]nless newer:

rsync -rauL {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_directory} {path/to/local_directory}

• Transfer file over SSH and delete remote files that do not exist locally:

rsync -e ssh --delete {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_file} {path/to/local_file}

• Transfer file over SSH using a different port than the default and show global progress:

rsync -e 'ssh -p {port}' --info=progress2 {remote_host}:{path/to/remote_file} {path/to/local_file}
