242
Verify that the local file system is mounted by the existence of this file. This option increases the
time required to synchronize deletes. See also
--remote-mount-signature
.
-m
rate
,
--min-rate=
rate
Attempt to transfer no slower than the specified minimum transfer rate.
rate
is an integer with units
of G/g, M/m, K/k, or bps. Default: 200 Kbps.
-N
pair
,
--name=
pair
Assign a name for the synchronization session. The value can contain only ASCII alphanumeric,
hyphen, and underscore characters. This value is stored in the session cookie and can be used in
IBM Aspera Console to identify the transfer session.
Note:
-N
must precede all session options.
-n
action
,
--symbolic-links=
action
Handle symbolic links with the specified method, as allowed by the server. For more information on
symbolic link handling, see
on page 132.
action
can be:
copy
- create or update the link at the destination (default). Not valid for Windows source or
destination.
skip
- ignore the link altogether.
follow
- treat the link as if it were the file or directory it points to, so that at the destination,
what was a link is now a copy of the file or directory. Functions as
skip
if source is Windows.
--no-preserve-root-attrs
Disable the preservation of attributes on the Aspera Sync root.
--no-scan
Never scan. Use this option in a continuous
async
session to synchronize only new files (files that
are added to the directory after the start of the
async
session) but not existing files. With
--no-
scan
, Aspera Sync relies entirely on file system notifications to detect changes. As a result, if a
directory is renamed after the
async
session starts, then the directory name is synchronized but
the contents are not (because Aspera Sync does not recognize that the files were "moved" to the
renamed directory). This option cannot be used with
--scan-interval
or one-time
async
sessions.
-O
port
,
--udp-port=
port
Use the specified UDP port for FASP data transfer. Default: 33001.
-o
policy
,
--overwrite=
policy
Overwrite files according to the specified policy, which can be
always
,
older
, or
conflict
.
Use with
-K push
and
pull
. Default:
always
for
-K push
and
pull
;
conflict
for
-K
bidi
.
Note:
When syncing with object storage, only file size (
--checksum=none
) can be used to
compare files. Thus, using
--overwrite=always
only overwrites files whose sizes have
changed. If the content of a local file is different from a file with the same name in object storage
but the files are the same size, the file in object storage is not overwritten. To overwrite files in this
case, use
--overwrite=older
.
--overwrite=older
is only accurate if the user also specifies
--preserve-time
(preserve
timestamps).
To resolve
conflict
and
error
situations in a uni-directional sync, “touch” the problem files on
the source and run
async
with
--overwrite=always
. This clears all
conflict
and
error
states as the problem files are synchronized.
-P
port
,
--tcp-port=
port
Use the specified TCP port for SSH.
port
must be a valid numeric IP port. Default: 22.
