WHAT IS RSYNC?
--------------
rsync is a replacement for scp/rcp that has many more features.
Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool for
both remote and local files.
rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
bringing remote files into sync.
It does this by sending just the
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 present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of
diffs between two files normally requires local access to both
files.

Alternatively, rsync can run in `daemon' mode, listening on a socket.
This is generally used for public file distribution, although
authentication and access control are available.
To install rsync, first run the "configure" script. This will create a
Makefile and config.h appropriate for your system. Then type
"make".
