This special remote type rsyncs file contents to somewhere else. Setup example: # git annex initremote myrsync type=rsync rsyncurl=rsync://rsync.example.com/myrsync encryption=joey@kitenet.net # git annex describe myrsync "rsync server" Or for using rsync over SSH # git annex initremote myrsync type=rsync rsyncurl=ssh.example.com:/myrsync encryption=joey@kitenet.net # git annex describe myrsync "rsync server" ## configuration These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure rsync: * `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption of content stored in rsync, or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption key that will be given access to the remote. Note that additional gpg keys can be given access to a remote by rerunning initremote with the new key id. See [[encryption]]. * `rsyncurl` - Required. This is the url or `hostname:/directory` to pass to rsync to tell it where to store content. The `annex-rsync-options` git configuration setting can be used to pass parameters to rsync.
