rsync remote and local file copying command

Copy and overwrite older files only while showing progress:

rsync -rahP --info=progress2 --stats -u /source/folder/'My Folder'/ /destination/folder/'My Folder'/

    --existing              skip creating new files on receiver
    -u, --update            skip files that are newer on the receiver

Ctrl + Z => stop rsync process // -P => (-rahP)

Resume rsync process // fg %[number] – resume job [number]

fg 1 rsync -rahP --info=progress2 --stats -u /source/folder/'My Folder'/ /destination/folder/'My Folder'/

jobs – list the current jobs

fg – resume the job that’s next in the queue

fg %[number] – resume job [number]

bg – Push the next job in the queue into the background

bg %[number] – Push the job [number] into the background

kill %[number] – Kill the job numbered [number]

kill -[signal] %[number] – Send the signal [signal] to job number [number]

disown %[number] – disown the process(no more terminal will be owner), so command will be alive even after closing the terminal.

Cleanup after failed rsync:

find -type f -iname ".*.*.??????" -ls

find -type f -iname ".*.*.??????" -delete
