Hey all,
Background: I do all my web page work in a personal directory
so as not to FUBAR the real web pages. Problem is keeping the two
synchronized.
I have thrown together a simple "copy script" that runs as part
of my nightly cron job - it copies *everything* from my working
directory to the actual web directory every night. These are both on
the same machine, so access is not a problem.
Problem: Copying everything is slow and, generally, painful.
There's a couple 100 meg of data there. I'm looking for a script to
update the web directory with newer/missing files. I don't mind at all
if some stuff stays there, a true sync isn't necessary. I just need to
get all the new content pushed to the appropriate place.
Hey there,
I'd recommend using rsync for the job. Does a great job in only
updating the portions of the data that have actually changed. Also does
a bit of compression on the data transfered. It's easy to configure as
well. Just do a quick man rsync. Good luck.
