The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the

an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical
report that accompanies this package.

To synchronize my samba source trees I use the following Makefile

this allows me to sync with a CVS directory at the other end of the

lot of time as the remote cvs protocol isn't very efficient.
I mirror a directory between my "old" and "new" ftp sites with the
dit(bf(--csum-length=LENGTH)) By default the primary checksum used in
rsync is a very strong 16 byte MD4 checksum. In most cases you will
find that a truncated version of this checksum is quite efficient, and

You can choose the number of bytes in the truncated checksum using the
dit(bf(-z, --compress)) With this option, rsync compresses any data from
the files that it sends to the destination machine. This
-option is useful on slow links. The compression method used is the

Also note that the rsync server protocol does not currently provide any
