Rsync 2.2.1
for OS/2

About Rsync

rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files.

Requirements

Usage on Windows

Robert Scholten wrote a really helpful page called "Installing ssh and rsync on a Windows machine" which contains a step by step installation description and links to several windows ports.

Limitations

1. You can receive files only on devices which support long filenames.
2. The rsync port does not work in daemon mode. Thus the --daemon option is not available.
3. The server mode seems to have bugs. I'm not sure whether these bugs can be fixed in rsync since the problem might be the OS/2 rshd.
