To set up an rsync server on a Mac can be quite tricky.
That’s my way to do that!
It is possible to simply launch rsync daemon by typing:
rsync –daemon |
This will start a rsync daemon running on TCP port 873, but without the appropriate rsyncd.conf all the configuration has to be done by command line arguments.
In addition, if the server needs to be rebooted, the process will not restart automatically on boot.
On Mac OsX inetd is no longer an option since processes use launchd and launchdctl to load XML process files. 继续阅读
