Trsync

A modern GUI wrapper for rsync built with Tauri (React Frontend) and Rust Backend, designed to simplify file synchronization with an intuitive graphical interface.

Overview

Trsync provides a user-friendly way to interact with rsync without needing to remember complex command-line flags. It enables selecting files and directories via a GUI, supports multi-file selection, and executes synchronization operations securely through a Rust-powered backend.

Features

• 📁 Graphical file and folder selection
• 📦 Multi-file sync support
• 🌐 SSH Support. A graphical alternative to the SCP tool.
• 🔄 Powered by rsync for efficient delta transfers
• ⚡ Fast and lightweight (Tauri-based desktop app)
• 🦀 Secure backend logic in Rust

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React (TypeScript)
• Backend: Rust
• Desktop Shell: Tauri 2.0
• Core Engine: rsync

How It Works

1. User selects source files/folders via the GUI
2. Destination path is chosen through the interface
3. Frontend sends sync configuration to Rust backend
4. Rust constructs and executes the appropriate rsync command
5. Output is streamed back to the UI for status updates
