Background
rsync is a free software computer program for Unix systems which synchronizes files and directories from one location to another while minimizing data transfer using delta encoding when appropriate. An important feature of rsync not found in most similar programs/protocols is that the mirroring takes place with only one transmission in each direction.
Installation
Compile from source
On any distribution FreeLink or OpenLink
- Make sure you have installed the Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS first.
- Get the source, make and install.
wget http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.8.tar.gz gunzip rsync-2.6.8.tar.gz tar -xf rsync-2.6.8.tar cd rsync-2.6.8 ./configure make su root make install
Raw Binaries
PowerPC
From the Yahoo! Linkstation General Group: rsync binaries anyone / SSH without password as root INTO LinkStation
wget http://ls.jcedata.net/rsync chmod a+x rsync cp rsync /usr/bin
FreeLink
Use apt-get to install rsync
apt-get install rsync
OpenLink (Ipkg)
PowerPC
- Install Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users) and enable the NSLU2 Feed: Ipkg Package List: PowerPC
- Install rsync
ipkg install rsync
MIPSel
Alexander Skwar has created a fairly extensive selection of Ipkg packages for the MIPSel (LS2) LinkStation, Install Ipkg and enable his feed:
- Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users)
- Experimental "unstable" ipk Packages for the MIPSEL Linkstation
- Install rsync
ipkg install rsync
