Open source file sync software?
 

I'm looking for some open source filesync software, that
1) has the ability to run over HTTP
2) only sends across the deltas.

This is to keep a source code repository backed up remotely. Anyone used / know of such a project?

Thanks :thumb:

Depends exactly what you're after. I use Bazaar for source code version control, but if you want to back up your repositories then I'd use something like rsync to keep a mirror. rsync has about 4000 options so have a read of the docs. There is a Win32 version of rsync if you'll be running Windows.

Rsync doesn't seem to be able to run over HTTP as far as I can tell... port 80 yes, HTTP no. It needs to go through a proxy server in this case... :(

There are some solutions to using rsync over the HTTP protocol, but it's the wrong tool for the job as I'm sure you're aware. Have a look at zsync and see if that does what you want, but the HTTP protocol introduces a lot of overhead for that kind of thing.

Repliweb does exactly this .... but that's not open source

I've decided to write something myself!
