rsync from whonix.org[edit]

  • Available over unencrypted clearnet port 873. (Default port by unencrypted rsync.)
  • Available over encrypted clearnet port 874. (Default port by openssl-rsync.)
  • Available over encrypted clearnet port 1874. (Default port by Debian ftpsync package, rsync-ssl-tunnel script.)
  • Available over encrypted onion, port 873. (rsync default port.)

Security advice:

  • Avoid unencrypted rsync.
  • Encrypted rsync is better.
  • rsync over onion is best.

Commands below use for testing:

  • --dry-run and
  • --quiet.

Therefore:

  • Initially you might wish to drop --quiet.
  • Later for production you might wish to drop --dry-run and change the destination folder from ~/whonix to a folder of your choice such as /var/www/whonix.
