How to sync files without having Unison installed on the remote server?

Question

我可以使用Unison并在源计算机上安装Unison 而不在目标计算机上安装Unison，将文件从源推送到目标吗？

Answer 1

Yes you can do it. But no, you won't get the speed benefits that Unison provides when it's running on both ends.

I do this regularly from Mac. I mount a SMB share locally and then set up a .prf file like this:

# Roots of the synchronization
root = /Volumes/SecondDrive/user/Pix/
root = /Volumes/REMOTE/user/Pix

auto=true
batch=true
times=true
fastcheck=true

in the above situation the first root is on my local drive and the second is a mounted SMB share that lives on a networked windows server.
