Q. What is RSYNC and how to use it to Synchronize files in Linux servers?
- rsync is a powerful and versatile Linux command for transferring and synchronizing files between local and remote servers.  This approach reduces bandwidth usage and speeds up transfers.

Objective: To Synchronize file files on the Remote server in such a way that we are not required to copy them one by one. Easy access and less effort to copy and paste remotely.

# Dependencies are
-ssh
-Local and remote machines should have rsync installed

# Sonfigure ssh SH ssh key no password
$ ssh-keygen (hit enter to set no password)
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub userForKali@IPaddressForKali

# Create a config folder in .ssh
$ touch ~/.ssh/config
$ chmod u=--- ~/.ssh/config
$ chmod u=rw- ~/.ssh/config

# Paste these in the config file
host nameanything
hostname 192.168.1.40
port 22
user devil
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Edit file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add two lines at the end of the file
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
