Package description for 'rsync'

rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.

 rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
 bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
 differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
 sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
 At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of
 diffs between two files normally requires local access to both
 files.
