I think fsync is not a suitable option because it is a command related to file I/O operations, not specifically for copying files over a network.

scp is secure, but it copies the entire file each time, which can be inefficient for large data sets that change frequently.

I'm not entirely sure about rsync. Can someone explain why scp wouldn't be a good choice for this situation?

I agree, rsync is a great option for this scenario. It saves time and bandwidth by only transferring the differences.

I think the best option is rsync because it can efficiently synchronize only the changes in the data.

I've heard of fsync, but I don't think it's the right choice for synchronizing daily changing data. rsync seems more appropriate.

I personally like scp because it's simple and secure, but I can see why rsync would be more efficient for synchronizing large amounts of data.

I agree with you, Nickole. rsync uses a delta transfer algorithm to only send the differences between source and destination files.

I think the best option would be rsync, it's designed for synchronizing files efficiently.
