Thread: anyone familiar with rsync?

i have ubuntu pc home server
, macbook laptop.

hope can use rsync sync documents, thunderbird mails , itunes library server.

goal 2 way sync
find , keep file latest version. find , delete file i've deleted.

looks rsync cheapest way can it.
rsync have options can't understand well.


, have 2 questions
1. rsync 2 way sync? cli looks 1 way
2. have many delete options. what's different? or 1 should use?


thank

code:

rsync -an --delete --progress /path/to/source/ username@destination:~/path/to/destination/

-a : archive
-n : dry run (ie, wont until run command without 'n')
--delete : removes files on destination no longer on source

2 way sync, assume mean if make changes on server, synced macbook? doesn't work rsync. ive used unison task , works great, ive done linux linux. there mac version though. unison more or less behaves same way rsync bidirectional.
