 #What is rsync?
 rsync is a tool that provides fast, efficient file transfers. rsync is available for all major OS platforms; it is natively included on Linux, Mac OS X and BSD, and is available for MS Windows users through Cygwin. rsync can be run in conjunction with SSH for secure, encrypted file transfers. rsync supports resume of failed transfers, a life-saver on large file transfers. The versatility of rsync is unequaled -- it provides a vast array of options to help you customize your file transfer operation to meet your exact needs.
-
-#Authentication 
-Authenticating via rsync requires the use of a "combined" username for the project web space. The combined username is composed of your SourceForge.net account username and the project UNIX name for which you want to upload or download files. A comma (",") is used as a delimiter between these two components.
-
-Example:
-
-SourceForge.net username: jsmith
-User jsmith has a project with the UNIX name: fooproject
-Combined username: jsmith,fooproject
-The Developer web space only requires the use of your SourceForge.net account name.
-
-The password for both cases is always the password associated with your SourceForge.net user account.
