sftpsync
Incremental file and directory synchronization over SSH. The SolarOS client uses the server's SFTP subsystem, so it works with a normal SSH server without requiring a matching remote program. It skips regular files whose size and modification time already match. It does not delete destination-only files.
Usage:
sftpsync [-r|-a] [-n] [-P port] local [user@]host:remote
sftpsync [-r|-a] [-n] [-P port] [user@]host:remote local-r, -a, or --recursive enables directory traversal. -n or --dry-run prints the changes without writing them. -P selects a non-default SSH port. Password and key authentication, known hosts, and aliases in /.ssh/hosts are shared with ssh and scp. A local or remote directory operand names the directory to synchronize; its contents are updated below that path. Traversal is limited to eight nested directory levels. Symbolic links and other special file types are skipped. Active transfers show an updating progress bar for each changed file, followed by the aggregate file and byte counts.
Controls:
Ctrl+Cor the app-exit key cancels the password prompt or an active
synchronization.
