rsync in Breadstick
Breadstick note
rsync copies between your Linux home folder and your Android folders, which appear there once Device files is granted, and to other machines over SSH. Another machine reaches this one through Breadstick's own SSH server, on port 2222.
Breadstick runs Debian's own rsync package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so rsync should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
rsyncrrsyncrsync-ssl
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Downloads use Android's own network connection, and a VPN connected in Android covers them too. With Device files granted, a file saved to your Linux Downloads folder is in Android's Downloads too. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About rsync
From Debian's package description
rsync is a fast and versatile file-copying tool which can copy locally and to/from a remote host. It offers many options to control its behavior, and its remote-update protocol can minimize network traffic to make transferring updates between machines fast and efficient.
It is widely used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for everyday use.
This package provides both the rsync command line tool and optional daemon functionality.
From Debian's description of the rsync package, under that package's license.
