Hello Max,
Rsync is a utility for efficiently transferring and synchronizing files between a computer and an
external hard drive and across networked computers.

Zlib may be used for additional data compression (used to cut down network traffic/bandwith and
speedup the data transfer) and SSH or stunnel can be used for security.

Short answer – You can't. Rsync is a protocol of its own (rsync talks to rsync). It can be used in
junction with the session protocol ssh to secure the conversation.

At this time there is no rsync like support with CA XCOM, but very much like the idea and strongly
suggest a ideation/IDEA be opened for adding such a feature.

Regards,
-Ken

Hi Kenneth,

thanks for your response.

We use windows servers, so not using rsync as such. More talking about robocopy/rsync types of copying only changed files. 

Thanks,
Max
