# rsync-ssl-tunnel(1)

Allows rsync to tunnel over TLS

## NAME

rsync-ssl-tunnel - Allows rsync to tunnel over TLS

## SYNOPSIS

**rsync-ssl-tunnel**

## DESCRIPTION

**rsync-ssl-tunnel** is part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages. As there are way too many mirrors of Debian to populate them all from the machine that generates the archive (“ftp-master”), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped hierarchy. Thus, every mirror has exactly one upstream from which it syncs, and each mirror can have any number of downstreams which in turn sync from it.

## OPTIONS

- **-C**

  The CA path for certificate verification

  Default: **/etc/ssl/certs**

- **-m**

  The method used to connect to the remote host.

  Default: **stunnel**

- **-p**

  The port used to connect to the remote host.

  Default: **1873**

## EXAMPLE

Example use with rsync:

rsync -e rsync-ssl-tunnel
