Using Drush's built-in RSYNC
Info |
---|
note that drush rsync can be funky, especially with older versions of drush. Real rsync in generally recommended. |
Basic Usage
Drush aliases makes operations destinations clear.
...
Note that the slash appears on the source, but not the target destination.
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ drush rsync @mysite.dev:%files/images/ @mysite.local:%files/images |
Here, we pull down all files from live to local, but exclude drupal's private files
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ drush rsync --exclude=private @mysite.live:%files/ @mysite.local:%files |
...
Drush has some option flags of its own we can send to test operations before committing. In this case we are going from our local to staging:
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ drush --simulate --debug rsync --mode=razoglp @sitename.local:%files/images/ @sitename.staging:%files/images |
Excluding Paths
Drush provides the ability to leverage parts of rsync, but will not easily exclude files based on patterns. We can exclude paths, however:
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ drush rsync -y --mode=razog --exclude-paths=%files/private:%files/css:%files/js:%files/styles:%files/ctools:%files/backup_migrate @mysite.localdev:%files/ @mysite.devlocal:%files/ |
Using native rsync for full control of file transfers
Here is a verbose exclude list using straight rsync:
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ rsync -razv --delete --exclude=css --exclude=*_cache --exclude=js --exclude=googleanalytics --exclude=xmlsitemap \ --exclude=backup_migrate user@domain--exclude=styles user@domain.com:/path/to/remote/files/ \ /path/to/local/files/ |
We exclude a number of directories here and also delete anything on our local that does not exist on the remote.
setting hosts
With native rsync, we don't use drush aliases. However, we can set up shortcuts to hosts in .ssh/config.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
# mysite Host mysite.dev Hostname mysite.com port 2222 Compression yes User username Host mysite.test Hostname test.mysite.com port 2222 Compression yes User username |
These greatly simplify logging in via SSH. Now, instead of
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ ssh -p 2222 username@test.mysite.com |
you can simply do:
Code Block | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
$ ssh mysite.test |
...
-e 'ssh -axp 1022'
By default, symbolic links are not transferred at all.
We can replace multiple exclude patterns in the rsync command with a reference to an external file, using a flag, like so: --exclude-from '/var/www/backup/rsync-exclude.txt'
Here are files and directories to exclude from drupal's files directory.

rsync to pantheon
Grab the pantheon credentials from the desitnation account and modify to fit.
Log in to the client server to run this operation, though you can sync a local directory to Pantheon in just much the same way:.
You will need to get the ssh key for the machine performing the rsync operation to Pantheon up to your control panel if it is not already there.

# rsync the files to Panthon dev rsync -trazog --verbose --exclude-from='/var/www/backup/rsync-files-exclude.txt' \ /var/www/mysite/htdocs/sites/default/files/ \ --ipv4 -e 'ssh -p 2222' \ dev.b37d48af-d7ab-4d1e-b6cf-XXXXXXXXXXX@appserver.dev.b37d48af-d7ab-4d1e-b6cf-XXXXXXXXXXX.drush.in:files; # enter pantheon dashboard password when prompted |
