fpsync

parallel rsync synchronization tool

TLDR

Sync directories

$ fpsync [source/] [destination/]

Set number of jobs

$ fpsync -n [4] [source/] [destination/]

Set partition size

$ fpsync -f [1000] [source/] [destination/]

Verbose output

$ fpsync -v [source/] [destination/]

Resume sync

$ fpsync -r [work_dir] [source/] [destination/]

SYNOPSIS

fpsync [options] source destination

fpsync performs parallel rsync synchronization by partitioning source files and running multiple rsync processes. It achieves higher throughput than single rsync for large transfers.
The tool divides the source into chunks and launches parallel rsync jobs. Resume capability allows continuing interrupted transfers. It's part of the fpart project.
fpsync optimizes large file transfers by maximizing bandwidth utilization through parallelism.

PARAMETERS

SOURCE

Source directory.

DESTINATION

Destination directory.

-n JOBS

Number of parallel jobs.

-f FILES

Files per partition.

-v

Verbose output.

-r DIR

Resume from work directory.

-w DIR

Work directory.

--help

Display help information.

CAVEATS

Requires rsync installed. Parallel transfers may overwhelm network or disk. Small files may not benefit.

HISTORY

fpsync is part of fpart, a file partitioning tool for parallel operations. It addresses rsync's single-threaded limitation for large-scale file synchronization.
