Let's re-visit rysnc, shall we?

I covered the "rsync" script in an earlier post (located here). But recently my wife and I have evolved into a Mac family and I once again searched for a good syncing utility. Much to my great relief, Mac OS X, a Unix based system INCLUDES the amazing rsync utility. The command is the exact same and it works beautifully. M$ Briefcase take this:

rsync -avuz /Your/Inferior/Win/OS/ /Oober/Awesome/Times/Infinity/

Where, of course, "/Oober/Awesome/Times/Infinity/" then receives any new files from the local directory "/Your/Inferior/Win/OS/" without erasing any extra files not in the "from" directory.

Once again the traits of a superior operating system.

Making NASlite and Mac OS X 10.4 play nice...

Because NASlite does not use password encryption on your files you need to
tell you Mac that everything will be okay with a little nsmb.conf file:

sudo vi /etc/nsmb.conf (NOTE! not smb.conf)

[default]
minauth=none

save the file ( :wq in vi)

Thanks to the guys from serverelements (the people who make naslite for the solution).

NOTE! This does however pose a security risk...
