kolosy / rsync.net Goto Github PK

Hello,

I am trying to get the .net implementation of rsync up and running but I'm experiencing a few problems. Most of them I figured out on my own but I'm pretty stuck now. The communication between the server and the client has been established because whenever I shut down the server app, the client throws an error but I'm experiencing a problem while sending the files to the server. In the class "sender.cs" (55th line of the class, procedure SendFiles) the application hangs on the line that says "int i = f.readInt();". Is this a bug or am I most likely doing something wrong?
I call the application like this (on the client-side):
static void Main(string[] args) {
args = new string[] { "-a", "-v", "-v", "-v","-v", "-z", "-r", "c:\test", "rsync://duffman@PC-duff/ftp" };
MainClass mc = new MainClass();
mc.Run(args);
}

Does anybody know why the application hangs while sending the files?

Thanks,
Duffman-

Thanks, this looks really useful. What license is the code distributed under?

You should consider adding a LICENSE file to clarify this.

Hi,
why are you using Kernel functions in FileSystem objects (Directory, File) instead of using standard .net methods of (System.IO.Directory...) ?

I new to rsync and trying to synchronize a folder on System A(Windows) to a folder on System B(Windows). Can you help me with the steps to achieve it.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Using MatthewSteeples' fork of the code, I'm having some problems using the -R / --relative option. In a testapp, I call:

string[] args = new string[] { "-v", "-r", "-c", "--relative", "c:\\temp\\rsync\\source\\", "rsync://SshUser@localhost/backup" };
NetSync.Run(args);

This results in a (sub)directory structure /c/temp/rsync/source/ on the target, where I was expecting the file in directory c:\temp\rsync\source\ on the source to be copied into the root of the target.

It could be that I am misinterpreting some option parameter(?). Overall the port of rsync really works great, I just can't solve this one problem.

Hello,

I think include, exclude options are for cloning only selected files/folders.
Can you explain what to do to copy only selected folders?

Thank you.

I have been learning the source and doing some testing, am I correct in thinking the rsync diff algorithm is not working? The daemon is running with the command:

NetSync.exe --daemon --port 873 -vvvv

Then I sync a 1.2Mb text file using the following command:
NetSync.exe -r -c "C:\Work\RPCv4\RPCDlls\rpclog.txt" localhost::qc

Number of files: 1
Number of files transferred: 1
Total file size: 1223943
Total transferred file size: 1223943
Literal data: 1223943
Matched data: 0
File list size: 67
Total bytes written: 1224250
Total bytes received: 62

When the file is unchanged, there is a match and only a few bytes are transferred. If it is changed by one byte the whole file is retransmitted. Is there a away to make it only send the changes? I have also tried the rsync:// protocol format for the destination and set --no-whole-file (this option doesn't appear implemented in the code so far)

Thanks, this is a very cool project and I'm keen to help make it work.
