If this latter parameter is activated, the client will not be able to download files from the module. The module can also be made write-only, by using the write only parameter and providing yes or true as value. This behavior can be changed by setting the “read only” parameter to no or false. This means that a client can only use it as a source for the transfer. Make a module read or write onlyīy default, all modules are created as read-only. The “comment” parameter is optional: we can specify a string that will be displayed near the name of the module, when the client requests a list of the available ones. It is used to specify the path of the directory made available by the module itself. This parameter is mandatory and must be provided for each module. The module parameters are those specified inside a module section and are applied to that section only. When we do so, the specified parameters values will become the default ones for all the modules. In addition to the parameters we saw above, in the global section, we can specify also module parameters. The address specified in the file can be overridden by launching the daemon with the -address option, providing the desired address as argument. We can use the global address parameter to specify the address the rsync daemon will listen to. This option can be overridden when the daemon is launched, by using the -port option. The “port” parameterīy using this global parameter, we can specify an alternative port for the rsync daemon. It’s possible to change this behavior, and let the file be overwritten, instead, by launching the rsync daemon with the -dparam=pid‐file=FILE option. By default, the daemon launch will be aborted if the specified file already exists. This parameter is used to specify the path of a file where the rsyncd PID (Process ID) will be written. Here we will discuss some of the most interesting ones. Let’s take a quick look at some of them.Īs we just said, global parameters are those defined at the beginning of the /etc/nf file, before any module definition, or optionally inside a section. All the parameters provided inside the stanza are local, so they are applied to the related module only settings provided before any stanzas, are global. A module is associated with a directory in the filesystem, specified with the path argument. The first thing we must notice is how an rsyncd module is defined: Ī module is defined in a “stanza” which begins with the declaration of the module name between square brackets, in this case. # dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.Z *.rpm *.deb *.bz2Īll the parameters are commented, and displayed as a configuration example: they represent a good starting point for our discussion. Here is the content of the file on Fedora: # /etc/rsyncd: configuration file for The file is already included in the Archlinux and Fedora packages, while on Debian it must be created from scratch. Once rsyncd is installed, we can configure it using the /etc/nf file. The main rsync package will be installed as a dependency:
DAEMON SYNC FAILED INSTALL
In recent versions of the distribution, to install it, we can use the dnf package manager. On distributions like Fedora, instead, rsyncd, the rsync daemon, is distributed in its own package, rsync-daemon. On Archlinux, instead, we use pacman: $ sudo pacman -S rsync On Debian we can use the apt package manager: $ sudo apt-get install rsync On Debian and Archlinux, the files related to the rsync daemon are included the rsync package, so all we have to do, is to install the latter. Installing the rsync daemon is really easy, since the package and its dependencies are available by default in the all the major Linux distributions repositories. $ – requires given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user

# – requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command No special requirements are needed to follow this tutorial
