rsync from whonix.org[edit]
Overview[edit]
- Available over encrypted clearnet port
874. (Default port byopenssl-rsync.) - Available over encrypted clearnet port
1874. (Default port by Debian ftpsync package,rsync-ssl-tunnelscript.) - Available over encrypted onion, port
873. (rsyncdefault port.)
Security advice:
- Encrypted rsync is better.
- rsync over onion is best.
Commands below use for testing:
--dry-run
Therefore:
- Later for production you might wish to drop
--dry-runand change the destination folder from~/whonixto a folder of your choice such as/var/www/whonix.
