--==========CFFC3A58BA6A9A6E82C2========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline What's the best way to sync files locally? I'm running rsync over ssh to backup files from a server. Now I'm setting=20 up a new server, so I rsynced to it as well. The files end up in a subdir=20 of my home directory, because my account is being used for the rsync. I've = been using cp -R to put them in the right place on the server and the chmod = and chown to get the perms right, but I'm thinking there has to be a way to = sync the files locally so that only the ones that have changed or are new=20 have to be copied to the right place. I can use find to set the perms, but I'm not sure how to sync the files.=20 This is unix, so there's got to be a built-in utility that does this, but I = can't seem to find it.
