Rsync for Tasker App
Rsync for Tasker is an Android app providing Tasker plugin actions to allow running rsync over SSH.
Tasker is a very useful and widely used automation app for Android with a plugin architecture that allows other apps (such as this one) to add extra functionality. This app provides the following actions for use within Tasker:
- Generate Private Key - Generates a private key to use for SSH authentication
- Get Public Key - Retrieves a public key from a previously generated private key
- rsync - Run an rsync command to synchronise files to or from the device
- dbclient - Run an SSH command non-interactively (experimental)
The packaged native binaries of Dropbear and rsync are my own builds which I keep updated with new releases.
