Purpose

oxsync is geared towards enabling fast, local reads with a remote filesystem. The conventional setup advices to initiate with a copy of local files and directories on the remote machine, while the tool monitors and synchronizes the modifications performed when the program is running.

Features

• Real-time "watch for changes" functionality for near immediate synchronization.
• CLI interface with intuitive commands.
• Local copy of remote directories for quick reads.
• Handle big and small files
• An "exclude" argument
• Tested and fully functional on Windows

Installation

# Beforehand make sure to have a functional Rust compiler and 
# the Cargo package manager installed
cargo install oxsync
