Really the machine should just have to be running SSH. The UI could then take care of spooling up an instance of rsync on the target machine under the hood as soon as it connects.
- scintill76 9y agoI think it means rsync must be installed. It probably starts rsync as you say.
- rzzzt 9y agofeelix is probably thinking of transferring an rsync binary first, when it is not available on the remote end.
- tiernano 9y agoHow would you easily figure out which version to install? Having a requirement of rsync already installed on the box sounds reasonable, compared to having x86, x64, arm32, arm64, and the rest binaries in the client download...
- scintill76 9y agoAnd that's not counting different OS's, different dependencies such as libc. In my opinion those things would be far out of scope for this project.
- therein 9y agoI agree that it is beyond the scope of this project but a statically linked (with musl libc) rsync would be possible. Like these guys: http://sta.li/ http://sta.li/
- bonhardcomp 9y agoNice. Am gonna be doing this.
