Will this work with any remote host over SSH ? All of the example targets (S3, google cloud, etc.) are things that you can't rsync to.

That is, can you point it at rsync.net (or your own server that is only running ssh) ?

If the author is here, please email us (info@rsync.net) if you'd like a free account to test with.

Yes, I suppose rsync might be a good protocol for "rsync for cloud storage" to support.

That's a good feature request.


Except there's "regular" rsync for that so it wouldn't be solving a new problem.

I get the irony you're hinting at with regards to the tag line "rsync for cloud storage" but it's harmless IMHO and gets the point across nicely.


It exists to give you rsync to things that aren't rsync. If you want to rsync to things that are rsync, use rsync.

I don't understand the snark.


I think the parent meant to say that this could be an all-in-one solution.
