Rsync Command Generator

Rsync Command Generator

Generate rsync commands for file synchronization and backup with flexible transport options.

Common Options:

• -a (archive): Preserves permissions, times, symlinks, etc.
• -v (verbose): Shows detailed output
• -z (compress): Compresses data during transfer
• --delete: Deletes files in destination not in source
• --dry-run: Shows what would be transferred without doing it
• --progress: Shows transfer progress

Transport Methods:

• Local: Direct filesystem access
• SSH: Secure shell transfer (default for remote)
• Rsync Daemon: rsync:// protocol (requires rsync daemon on remote server)

SSH Config Alias:

Enable this option to use host aliases from your ~/.ssh/config file instead of specifying user@host manually.

Example SSH config:

Host myserver
    HostName example.com
    User myuser
    Port 2222
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Then use just myserver as the alias in the form.
