git-annex/doc/special_remotes/directory.mdwn

This special remote type stores file contents in directory.

One use case for this would be if you have a removable drive that
you want to use it to sneakernet files between systems (possibly with
[[encrypted|encryption]] contents). Just set up both systems to use
the drive's mountpoint as a directory remote.

Setup example:

	# git annex initremote usbdrive type=directory directory=/media/usbdrive/ encryption=none
	# git annex describe usbdrive "usb drive on /media/usbdrive/"

			`Setup example:`

rsync special remote Fully tested and working, including resuming and encryption. (Though not resuming when sending with encryption; gpg doesn't produce identical output each time.) Uses same layout as the directory special remote and the .git/annex/objects/ directory. 2011-04-27 20:06:07 -04:00			`# git annex initremote usbdrive type=directory directory=/media/usbdrive/ encryption=none`
