Default parameters to rsync

Some of the default parameters can be switched on or off on a task.

The following parameters might be switched on/off:

  • --compress compress files before transmitting, networked tasks only
  • --delete delete all files at destination which are not in the source

The following parameters are applied to all tasks and cannot be switched off:

  • --archive ensures that all files are transferred with all attributes preserved
  • --verbose make rsync very outspoken, required for counting files in RsyncUI

Enable rsync daemon - enabling rsync daemon puts a double colon :: in address parameter to rsync. It forces rsync to use the rsync daemon remote.
