Using rsync to sync files to an Amazon EC2 instance using SSH key

gistfile1.eclass

rsync -avz /path/to/local/sync/folder -e "ssh -i /path/to/ssh/key" ubuntu@ec2instance:/path/to/remote/sync/folder

Thanks!

Works great but only seems to go one direction. If I delete a file/folder from the initial /path/to/local/sync/folder that change doesn't propagate to the ec2 instance(s). If I ADD a file it syncs over just fine, how can I adjust this so that deletes carry over as well?

You probably figured this out already, but if not I think you just add --delete after the -avz so:

rsync -avz --delete /path/to/local/sync/folder -e "ssh -i /path/to/ssh/key" ubuntu@ec2instance:/path/to/remote/sync/folder

unison is a good option. It is bidirectional and provides options how to handle conflicts.

how rsync works from Ubuntu to Windows server scenario ?

rsync -avz /tmp/* [email protected]:/cygdrive/c/

Above command is not working
