How to install rsync server on CentOS

These are steps to install rsync server.

Install xinetd and rsync packages

#yum -y install xinetd rsync

Then make sure xinetd is running on levels 3, 4 and 5

#chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on

Modify rsync xinetd configuration. We shoud change disable = yes to disable = no

#vi /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

Next, create rsync secrets file for password with format of username:password

#vi /etc/rsyncd.secrets

Last create configuration for rsync shares

#vi /etc/rsyncd.conf

Fill this configuration

# rsyncd.conf

secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

read only = yes

list = yes

uid = nobody

gid = nobody

[out]

comment = Interesting stuff from this server

path = /home/rsync/out

[confidential]

comment = FYI

path = /home/rsync/secret-out

auth users = demby,pratama

hosts allow = *.pratama.us

hosts deny = *

list = false

Then save

After that, fix up permission and ownership file, and restart xinetd service

#chown root.root /etc/rsyncd.*

#chmod 600 /etc/rsyncd.*

#service xinetd restart

You can test it locally:

#telnet 127.0.0.1 873

You should check your server. If SELinux is running, you must disable it or you can let it run. But you have to change some variable. Use this command

#setsebool -P rsync_disable_trans 1

#service xinetd restart

Running the client:

On the remote machine:

# rsync -arv your-user-name@host-with-code-to-sync:/home/rsync/out ./

That's how to install rsync server on CentOS
