RSyncX?

[mankymanning]

Is RSyncX still around or used by anyone? All the download links I try are broken. I want to set up some jobs for backing up some files from my MBP to a mac mini I have periodically.

My Mac skills are not all that great so manually setting up SSH sessions and configuring normal RSync is a bit beyond me. RSyncX looked like just the ticket.

I already tried CCC but it always errors about authenticating and I went through all the security package install stuff.

Rsync is still there obviously for the unix guys. But I don't know about its interface RsyncX...

I'm not sure what RsyncX provides, maybe a GUI. If that's what you're after give Grsync a look see.

Yeah, that's it. RsyncX is just an interface, nothing else. Rsync has been developed since ages by the unix world, no need to reinvent the wheel.

Just in case anyone finds this thread via Google (which I did), RsyncX is still downloadable from Tucows:

According to O'Reilly, RsyncX is a "resource-fork-aware version of rsync" as well as a GUI. Here's the article that's from: http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/07/02/terminal_5.html

[edit] Well, this may be a moot point... In OS X 10.5.8, running on a 2x2.66 Dual-Core Xeon, I get an error trying to install:
