![]() ![]() Keeping that in mind, today we’re going to be taking a closer look at Free File Sync to see if it’s worth your time – or if it’s a colossal dud. But there is one wonderful exception to the rule, and it’s called open source software. The idea is to get more users excited about their product and hooked on its features, and then to upsell them to the full featured version of their paid subscription.Īs such, I’m usually wary when I hear the word ‘free.’ Often you’ll find data caps, bandwidth throttling, and other similar ‘gotchas’ when testing out a free service. A lot of file management and cloud storage services typically bait customers with a ‘free’ service, but impose harsh limitations that only serve to water down the free version. Lsyncd has the feature of syncing from one source to multiple targets.Quality free services are a rarity in any industry – with exception to open source software, that is. Lsyncd aggregates events up to 1000 separate events, or a 15-second delay before synchronizing, whichever happens first, so our changes may not be synced immediately. $ echo "This is line 2" > sample/source/file01.bin If we edit files in the source directory, lsyncd will automatically reflect it in the target directory: $ cat sample/source/file01.bin ![]() $ lsyncd -rsync /home/baeldung/sample/source /home/baeldung/sample/targetġ5:41:03 Normal: - Startup, daemonizing. The command above will copy/mirror the source directory recursively to the target directory: $ tree sample If the target directory is on a different machine: $ lsyncd -rsyncssh /home/baeldung/sample/source/ target-path/ Let’s set up a local lsync: $ lsyncd -rsync /home/baeldung/sample/source /home/baeldung/sample/target Our ~/sample/source directory will now sync to ~/sample/target directory every minute. The script removed the files in the target directory successfully. Let’s delete a file ( ~/sample/source/file01.bin) from the source to see if it will also delete the same file from the target: $ rm sample/source/file01.bin ![]()
