Support for rsync over ssh in the webgui

Post by malcom2073 »

I've been trying to get rsync working over the webgui, and for the life of me I couldn't get it working in reverse mode.

I played around with it for a while, and figured out that the webgui prepends rsync:// to the path of the host. According to the rsync man pages, this forces rsync to directly contact the server daemon, rather than ssh in and starting an instance of rsync as would be expected with the command: rsync -e 'ssh -p 1234' localdir remotedir

Could a checkbox be added to the rsync page to enable/disable directly connecting to the rsync daemon, as opposed to tunneling in and starting an instance as is the default behavior when transferring over ssh? Basically this would enable/disable the prepending of rsync:// to the remote path.
