Rsync: remote source and destination
- by goncalopp
If both source and destination are remote, rsync complains:
The source and destination cannot both be remote.
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1156) [Receiver=3.0.7]
Is there a insurmountable technical obstacle to making rsync do this? Or it's simply a case of it's-not-yet-implemented? It seems relatively easy to create a local buffer in memory that mediates the transfer between two remotes, holding both hashes and data.
Conversely, is there other (unix) software that implements this functionality?
