Once this is done we need to put the public key on our server. A passwordless key pair will be generated: Leave the field empty and just hit enter. For password protection DO NOT PUT ONE IN. If you have a directory where you want the files you can put that in or just hit enter for the default. It is going to ask you for a series of inputs including where to save it & to password protect the key. What we're going to do right now is create a public/private key pair using the following command:

For this example I'm going to use a local FreeNAS server. The server can be local(LAN) or remote(WAN) but to perform the initial configuration password authentication needs to be enabled. With updates done, and in order for automatic replication to work (over a network/Internet) we need a way to automatically authenticate with our server.

The command will run partially then error. This update will take a few minutes, be patient.Ģ. Ordinarily we would use sudo followed by our command ( sudo apt-get update & apt-get upgrade) to get root privileges but this is not sufficient.

Sudo -i makes us root which is necessary to have full access to every directory that we need. This will updates many components of our terminal which can be achieved by running the two following commands (if prompted for a password use the password you created): Once this is done you should be greeted by a green prompt that says ~$įor best reliability & performance we're going to perform a package update. I've just gone with test_sys for the sake of the tutorial.

Once it's ready you'll be prompted to create a UNIX username & password: You may have to click Launch once the download is done but once it is you should be greeted by a prompt tell you that Ubuntu is installing:īe patient, this will finish on it's own.

There are less functional 3rd party versions for Windows such as Grsync but this guide is going to discuses how it's possible to use Rsync on Windows so that synchronization over the network & Internet are possible.ġ. As great of a tool as Rsync is, the fully functional version is only available on Linux. This can be performed locally on one system, locally on the network (LAN), or remotely over the Internet (WAN). Rsync is a very powerful data replication tool for synchronizing files between two locations.
