Summary

cwRsync is a minimal distribution of rsync packaged with Cygwin libraries

Description

Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool for both remote and local files.

Rsync uses a delta-transfer algorithm which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs two files normally requires local access to both files.

Notes

• cwRSync uses the Windows user profile directories as home

• Current versions of rsync are only provided as a 64-bit version

• If support for 32-bit Windows is required use the legacy version rsync 5.5.0.20190204.

  choco install rsync --version 5.5.0.20190204
  choco pin add -n=rsync --version 5.5.0.20190204
