can alternatively be started by xinetd. This is, however, only recommended for servers
that rarely use rsyncd.
The example also creates a log file listing all connections. This file is stored in /var/
log/rsyncd.log.
It is then possible to test the transfer from a client system. Do this with the following
command:
rsync -avz sun::FTP
This command lists all files present in the directory /srv/ftp of the server. This re-
quest is also logged in the log file /var/log/rsyncd.log. To start an actual
transfer, provide a target directory. Use . for the current directory. For example:
rsync -avz sun::FTP .
By default, no files are deleted while synchronizing with rsync. If this should be forced,
the additional option --delete must be stated. To ensure that no newer files are
deleted, the option --update can be used instead. Any conflicts that arise must be
resolved manually.
