OK I have the following setup:
Server A: a remote server which runs rsync to a local machine to get new files
Local: A local machine
Local A: A folder on the local machine with new files for Server A yto get
Local B: An empty folder on an external drive connected to Local
Now, normally Local B is not involved, but currently there is a LOT of data in
Local A (multiple TB) that needs to be transferred to Server A, so what I want
to do is take the list of files and instead of Server A grabbing them, somehow
send them back to the local machine so they can instead be transferred to Local
B and I can then sneaker net the external drive over to the server and cut the
transfer time by about 1/50th.
I can, of course, do this manually with no issue by just generating the list of
files, copying it to local, and then ping this files from Local A to Local B.
Caveats, I cannot rsync TO server A, only FROM (that is to say, I can run an
rsync command on Server A that connect to anyone, but I cannot run an rsync
anywhere that connects to Server A).
rsync -avn <remoteserver> <local> > file
xfer file to <local>
Process file list in file to cp files to external
Just checking if there is something else I could/shuld do or something I am
forgetting about.
