Ctera C200 - Synchronizing Files with the Rsync Server

Sharing Files 9
CTERA C-Series User Guide 147
Tip
When accessing a network share, if your user name and password on the
computer are identical to a user name and password on the appliance, then the
computer will automatically log in to the share using that user name and
password. You will not be prompted to authenticate. In all other cases, a pop-up
window will appear, and you must authenticate using a valid user name and
password.
Synchronizing Files with the RSync Server
Use this procedure to synchronize files between the appliance and a local folder, when RSync
Access is configured. For information, see Configuring RSync Access (on page 123).
To synchronize files with the RSync Server
Run the following command:
rsync --recursive userName@deviceIP :/shareName localFolder
Where:
userName is the username.
deviceIP is the appliance IP address.
shareName is the name of the network share on the appliance.
localFolder is the name of the local folder.
For example, if the username is user1, the appliance IP address is 10.1.1.1, the name of
the network share is share9, and the local folder is /var/mnt/share9, the relevant
command would be:
rsync –-recursive user1@10.1.1.1 :/share9 /var/mnt/share9
