# The net/rsync port

## rsync-3.1.0 – mirroring/synchronization over low bandwidth links

## Description

    Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool.
    It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell,
    or to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options
    that control every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible
    specification of the set of files to be copied. It is famous for
    its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent
    over the network by sending only the differences between the source
    files and the existing files in the destination. Rsync is widely
    used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for
    everyday use.

    Flavor: iconv
        extra dependency, for people wanting to bring files from other OSes with
        more versatile filenames.
