Anyway to sync directories over ssh?

[fuzzylizard]

I am not sure if this is suppose to go here, but I am looking for a way to sync directories over ssh.

 

I have my home directory at school and a similiar directory at home. I would like to be able to sync these two directories so that they are the same. However, I can only access my school directory from home using ssh or sftp.

 

Is there a sync command built into ssh somewhere that will accomplish what I want?

 

Thanks.

rsync is what you want, it can work through ssh if this enviroment variable is set:

export RSYNC_RSH="ssh"

 

For example:

#!/bin/bash



sincronizar () {

    usage="Usage: sincronizar "local directory" "remote directory""

    local="${1?$usage}"

    remote="${2?usage}"

    command="rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~'"

    $command $remote $local

    $command $local $remote

}



sincronizar "${HOME}/bin" "arusabal@slack_machine:/binaries"

 

I use cron with something similar to the above code to syncronize directories between my two machines

Thanks, I will give that a try.
