I happen to know about rsyn, and I use rsync to sync between my mac and a linux server as follows. I expected to run the first command to sync, but I needed the second command also when a change is made in LINUX. Am I missing something? Does rsync have an option to sync between two directories? |

You want bi-directional sync. Take a look at unison, which does this: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ |

rsync is actually not recommended for two-way sync (by it's developers). The already recommended unison will be a better solution for you. Also keep in mind that you probably have to deal with a lot of Mac specific HFS+ stuff when using rsync. So be sure to use a properly patched rsync3 on the Mac or expect problems with modification dates (when using the Mac OS X provided rsync 2.6.9.) If you don't know how to build a properly patched rsync 3 for the Mac, get mlbackup which includes just that. (Full disclosure: I am the author of mlbackup.) Get it from github and be sure to download the full package from the downloads. (The mlbackup repo does not include rsync 3 which you want in this case.) http://github.com/MacLemon/mlbackup |
