|WHAT IS RSYNC?
|--------------
|
|rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.
|
|rsyns uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
|bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
|differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
|sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
|At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of
|diffs between two files normally requires local access to both
|files.
|
|A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with
|this package.
