rsync --inplace --partial -zavP /home/myuser/.chia/mainnet/db/ nanopc-t4-1:/mnt/ssd/chia/mainnet/db/

Non Standard SSH Port

rsync -avP -e "ssh -p 2212" user@remote:/path/to/file .

INFO

Basic Syntax

rsync options source destination

Some common options:

  • a : archive mode, archive mode allows copying files recursively and it also preserves symbolic links, file permissions, user & group ownerships and timestamps
  • h : human-readable, output numbers in a human-readable format
  • r : copies data recursively (but don’t preserve timestamps and permission while transferring data)
  • v : verbose
  • z : compress file data

Use With Windows Files

Do not use the 'a' option when copying...

rsync -rltuv source destination

Set Bandwidth Limit

Use the --bwlimit option. If you want to set a 5MB per second limit on file transfers...

rsync --bwlimit=5000 source destination
