I am using rsync for keeping my photos on the mobile phone in sync with my server. The complete system is growing and growing and the actual state is able to sync photos, books, music and movies. And I also wrote a very limited simple interface to show the contents on the web after syncing. Photos are stored in the server in a date-oriented form. The php script to handle the files on the server side may be found here.
The app is just installed from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android&hl=en). Follow the instructions to generate a key and copy the public key to the server ~/.ssh/authorized_keys – possibly you need to add the key to already stored keys in your authorized_keys file
The setup in android should state the following options:
rsync -vHrltD --exclude=thumbnails --chmod=ug+rwx,o-rwx --perms -e "ssh -y -p 22 -i
for the other folders like:
the same settings apply.
