I have a machine running AIX. I'm looking to install rsync on it. Does rsync support AIX? If so, where might I download it?

In case it matters: I will be using rsync to copy a filesystem from my AIX machine to another UNIX machine, so it needs to be compatible with other versions of rsync.

You should download the rsync version from perzl.org. It's a more recent version(3.0.8). It support files with size above 2GB and it is a lot better at synchronizing lot of files. download link

  • It's the source code you get there which should compile on AIX.

  • With a few exceptions with regard to some file-system specifics, rsync is platform-independent and copying files from AIX to any Linux or other Unix-like OS shouldn't be a problem.
