Live file synchro
by ychaouche from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J0EQ)
Dear LQ,
My goal is to copy each file received in a directory on host A to be immediately transferred to host B. If file is modified, the modified version should also immediately be transferred.
I have searched for "sync" in my package manager and a lot of results came out. The relevant ones (my own selection) were :
- csync2
- dirvish
- fssync
- inosync
- lsyncd
- clsync
- unison
I am looking for recommendations and feedback/experience on these tools.
rsync in a cron is already used, so don't bother recommending that.
Thanks for your input.
