Sync

This is a simple SFTP synchronisation tool without any external dependencies e.g. PuTTY, WinSCP, OpenSSH. Just download the executable which matches your OS and architecture (32 vs. 64 bits) and run it.

Syntax

Sync provids a few arguments: localDir defines the local directory e.g. c:\Users\A\My Documents or /users/A/My Documents. If you omit or set it to ., the current working directory gets used. remoteDir is the remote directory e.g. /users/A/Sync. server is the SSH server e.g. my-server.com:22. Use user to set the user's name and pwd to set the user's password. You can omit the pwd, thus, the program ask for the password on demand. With the argument supervised you can control if the program should ask you for every type of change. The default is the supervised operating mode. In order to disable it, use supervised=false. Finnaly, the pushOnly argument can be used to set the backup mode, where all remote changes are ignored. The default is the enabled backup mode. In order to sync changes in both directions, set pushOnly=false.

Features

  • The whole code is open source and can be used for any purpose (also commercial)
  • If you want, you can compile the code by your own by using the Go
  • The program just needs very low resources e.g. around 14 MB memory for Microsoft Windows 10 to sync roughly 6000 files. More files need more memory, because the meta information must keep in memory.
  • If a connection cannot setup, the program re-tries it
  • At the moment, SSHTunnel uses only the password authentication methods. Therefore, it is currently not possible to use e.g. a certificate, etc. Nevertheless, the implementation of this feature is possible.
  • The configuration must be provided by using the command-line arguments. It is currently not possible to use e.g. a configuration file.
  • You can avoid the password argument if you prefer to provide the password on demand.
  • Sync can be used in backup mode where all remote changes are ignored or in the full mode, where both directions gets synchronised.
  • Use the supervised mode in order to get the full control
