What is the command to install rsync?

thanks

It's probably already installed. Have you checked your package list in the WebIF? If it's not installed you can install it from there at the touch of a button.

If you must do it from the command line, (It's better to use the Web-If installer if available) enter :-

opkg install rsync

BTW
It depends on dropbear-ssh being present

Since rsync can be run as a standalone server, I don't think it should have dropbear in its list of dependencies, perhaps just a recommendation.

rsync can be run as a standalone server, but doesn't everyone run it over ssh (when ssh is available).

No I do have some rsync servers.

I'm also likely to use it to mirror two local directory structures such as one disk to another.

I agree, the dependency on dropbear should be removed from the package.


Posted on the move. Please excuse any brevity.
