I just appreciated that the test folders were titled "like" & "subscribe." Nicely played...

I've heard of rsync for many years but always felt it was more complicated than this. Thanks a lot. Tutorial is very easy to follow.

It would be extremely helpful if you could add sections to your videos. This way, viewers could easily navigate to the specific section where you discuss the Linux command flag they're seeking additional information about.
Besides that, it was indeed an interesting and well-structured video. You've definitely earned my subscription ❤:)

Hie Tony, I deployed a django app to app engine, it ran well, and i can view my site, the Challenge is, the app is a backend site so when i try to login, it says server error because according to my research thus far, App engine Lock the SQlite3 db that comes with django to read only. I wanted to change the db so i tried to setup the MySql db, when i do the deployment the problem comming is "Unknown db". May i know how you setup your db for your apps you deployed. I tried to run away from app engine to Google cloud Virtual Machine, i Was hit by yet another problem. I deployed the app it does login in properly but i was only running the server on SSH Terminal just as thought on local machine, the tutorial i was following never clarified how i can connect to my domain and i tired to setup the static ip address yet still to no avail. I feel like there are just pieces of Google cloud deployement tutorials on the internet but which doesnt give out the entire process. The Google documentation seems to be a little tricky to follow as well. Thanks for your assistance and looking forward to hearing from you.

how do i use file lists if i want to copy only specific files among a 1000 files?

[sagargandhi]

Hi, using Rsync the files are getting transferred in the order from the oldest to the newest, is it possible to change the order in which they are being transferred?

[optimusdebugger]

let's appreciate the like and subscribe folders! Well played!

[jclockard]

Thank you for this. Should someone move a main folder with lots of subfolders at once or should someone move all the subfolders individually? I have 1TB of data I want to transfer. All in one folder, with about 100 subfolders inside of that one. Should I do the one folder or go individual subfolder one at a time?

How rsyc ssh with Fingerprint (SHA256:...)???

[WarriorArtsIndonesia]

Great presentation but frustratingly I can't even get past first command without this: 

rsync: [sender] change_dir "/one" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1356) [sender=3.2.7]  

For the life of me I have no idea why. Updated to V3.2.7 on Ventura 13.3.1. I am stumped at the first hurdle. Any ideas, thanks?
