I have a folder a/ and a remote folder A/.
I now run something like this on a Makefile:

    get-music:
     rsync -avzru server:/media/10001/music/ /media/Incoming/music/
    
    put-music:
     rsync -avzru /media/Incoming/music/ server:/media/10001/music/
    
    sync-music: get-music put-music

when I make sync-music, it first gets all the diffs from server to local and then the opposite, sending all the diffs from local to server.

This works very well only if there are just updates or new files on the future. If there are deletions, it doesn&#39;t do anything.

In rsync there is --delete and --delete-after options to help accomplish what I want but thing is, it doesn&#39;t work on a 2-way-sync.

If I want to delete server files on a syn, when local files have been deleted, it works, but if, for some reason (explained after) I have some files that aren&#39;t in the server but exist locally and they were deleted, I want locally to remove them and not server copied (as it happens).

Thing is I have 3 machines in context:

 1. desktop
 2. notebook
 3. home-server

So, sometimes, server will have files that were deleted with a notebook sync, for example and then, when I run a sync with my desktop (where the deleted server files still exist on) I want these files to be deleted and not to be copied again to the server.

I guess this is only possible with a database and track of operations :P

Any simpler solutions?
Thank you.

Two way sync with rsync

I am somewhat confused as to how two-way SSL works.  How does the client create its certificate to send to the server?  Is it generated from the server and distributed to the client?

Also, what is the advantage of two-way SSL over one-way SSL?
