Rsync Access

The Unix Archive can also be accessed via an rsync server on www.tuhs.org. See the rsync web page for details on how to obtain a client.

The rsync access is divided into a number of categories in order to ease the load on the Unix Archive server. The categories are:

Name	Holds	Size (Megs)
UA_Root	root files	5M
UA_Applications	Applications directory	270M
UA_Distributions	Unix distributions	1.7G
UA_Documentation	Unix documentations	880M
UA_Tools	Tools to work on old systems	20M

You can use rsync to mirror each section. To mirror the complete archive, you would issue the following commands:

mkdir Applications Distributions Documentation Tools

rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Root   .
rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Applications     Applications
rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Distributions    Distributions
rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Documentation    Documentation
