I skimmed through the readme, which explains the concepts quite well, but am unclear on what needs to be installed on each machine (assuming Windows as the source and Linux as the destination). There’s a mention of copying the Linux build output, cdc_rsync_server, to the Windows machine. Why is this needed? And is there something on the Linux machine that needs to be (newly) added in the PATH?



Just uncompress the binaries on the Windows machine and run cdc_rsync. The Linux component, cdc_rsync_server, is deployed automatically on first run. It is scp'ed to ~/.cache/cdc-file-transfer/bin. So nothing has to be installed on the Linux machine.


Thank you so much for responding here, OP! Really appreciate it. Perhaps you could add this explanation in the readme?
