It works under GNU/Linux, Windows and Unix platforms. Pierce and is released under GPL license. The Unison program is created by Benjamin C. Unison is a user-level program, so there is no need to modify the kernel or to have superuser privileges on either host. Unison's built-in implementation of the rsync algorithm makes transferring updates to existing files very fast. The files are synchronized to a remote system via an encrypted ssh connection.Īnother notable feature of Unison is it works well over slow links such as PPP connections. Similar to rsync, Unison will only transfer the parts of a file that have been changed. Unison works well with any pair of computers connected to a local area network or Internet. Updates that do not conflict will be propagated automatically. In that case, you need to instruct Unison which replica should override the other. Unison will detect and display such conflicts. If the content are different on both replicas, it causes a conflict. Not just file content, even the file ownership and permissions will also be sychronized.


Since it is a multi-platform application, you can synchronize files and directories between computers that runs with different operating systems.įor instance, you can synchronize files stored in a Linux machine with a Windows or Unix machines and vice versa. To put this in simple terms, any changes in the one location will be replicated to other location and vice versa. The replicas of files and directories are modified separately and then brought up-to-date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
