#REDIRECT [[Distro-command-translations]]
Rsync helps you to keep two folders in sync. This is possible over the network or local.
 
 
 
= over the network =
 
The following command sends the directory /srv/www/htdocs over to ''server'':
 
rsync <abbr title="archive mode: recurse into directories, copy symlinks as symlinks, preserve permissions, modification time, group, owner, special device files; be very verbose">-avv</abbr> --stats <abbr title="show a progress">--progress</abbr> --partial /srv/www/htdocs ''server'':/srv/www
 
 
 
;Common mistake: There is a difference between /srv/www/htdocs and /srv/www/htdocs'''/'''.
 
 
 
= locally =
 
Copy a folder ''.VirtualBox'' to /root:
 
rsync -avv --stats --progress --partial .VirtualBox/ /root/.VirtualBox
