# filefox
The fastest way to get your data from here to there.
'''
Syntax:
filefox [options] <user@host> <local-dir> <remote-dir>
Options:
-n; --new Start transfer fresh without finding out what files exist in the destination.
Best for starting a new transfer.
-f; --fast Scan the destination for the existence of files only, does not compare times
or file sizes. (DEFAULT)
-r; --rsync Uses rsync to determine which files should be copied, then copies them using
filefox. Can catch files that didn't transfer properly that --fast doesn't
catch.
-r=<opts>
-rsync=<opts> Adds additional options to rsync when doing an "rsync" bbased transfer.
--compressor="<prog>[ opts]"
-c="<prog>[ opts]" Uses a different compressor than the default "lzop -1".
This can be any stream based compressor on your system that uses the -d option
to specify decompression.
-k; --privatekey Do not ask for an SSH password at the beginning, assume private key present.
-w; --password Ask for an ssh password and attempt to use it via SSHPASS. (DEFAULT)
-p=<port>
EOF
echo " --port=<port> Connect on different port (DEFAULT=$PORT)"
cat << EOF
-q; --prerequisites Install prerequisite programs. Works on debian based systems. For other
systems, these are expected: rsync, pv, lzop, ssh, sshpass
