rsync on Bianca

rsync is a command-line tool for file transfer.

This page describes how to use rsync on Bianca.

Using rsync for direct file transfer from a local computer to wharf fails, as cannot rsync directly to wharf.

It can be made to work (by using transit), as described in the UPPMAX Bianca file transfer using rsync.

How does it look like if I try to rsync directly to wharf anyways?

One cannot rsync directly to wharf.

However, this is how it looks like:

sven@sven-N141CU:~$ rsync my_local_file.txt sven-sens2016001@bianca-sftp.uppmax.uu.se:/sven-sens2016001

Hi!

You are connected to the bianca wharf (sftp service) at
bianca-sftp.uppmax.uu.se.

Note that we only support SFTP, which is not exactly the
same as SSH (rsync and scp will not work).

Please see our homepage and the Bianca User Guide
for more information:

If you have any questions not covered by the User Guide, you are
welcome to contact us at support@uppmax.uu.se.

Best regards,
UPPMAX
