Rsync

rsync is a utility that keeps copies of a file on two computer systems. It is commonly found on Unix-like systems and functions as both a file synchronization and file transfer program. The rsync algorithm is a type of delta encoding, and is used to minimize network usage. Zlib may be used for additional compression, and SSH or stunnel can be used for data security. Rsync can also operate in a daemon mode, serving files in the native rsync protocol (using the "rsync://" syntax). It is released under version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
