Rsync

Use this page to configure the settings for Rsync, which facilitates download, upload, and synchronization of files in a remote SFTP server configuration.

On macOS and Linux, the rsync and ssh tools are preinstalled and their paths are filled automatically.
On Windows, you need to manually install Cygwin with the rsync and openssh packages first. The tools' executables are commonly located in the <Cygwin installation>\bin folder.

Item	Description
Rsync executable path	In this field, provide the path to the `rsync` executable.
Rsync options	Use this field to override the Rsync command-line parameters if necessary. By default, the `-zar` options are used, so that Rsync will compress the transferred data (`z`), preserve permissions, ownership, and timestamps of transferred files and folders (`a`), and recurse into subdirectories (`r`). For the complete list of available options, refer to the Rsync documentation.
Shell executable path	In this field, provide the path to the `ssh` executable.
Test Connection	Click this button to validate the provided settings and make sure that DataGrip can properly communicate with Rsync.
