How to install rsync server on CentOS

By depratama
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

And  this is a website  to convert Gb into Mb (–resize takes Mb as input, 200Gb = 204800Mb). Boot Gparted to resize the partition After a default install of Ubuntu Server on one physical disk, you will have a SWAP partition, and then an extended partition in which you’ll have your LVM partition (So 3 partitions).  Download Gparted  .iso,...
