Required plugins: FTP/SFTP/WebDAV Connectivity

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.

note

Rsync is used for download and upload (including auto-upload) of files and synchronization between the deployed files and folders and their local versions. Deletion and navigation by files on a remote host is still done via SFTP.

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
