+<p>rsync-ssl -&#8288; a helper script for connecting to an ssl rsync daemon</p>
+<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS<a href="#SYNOPSIS" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<pre><code>rsync-ssl [--type=SSL_TYPE] RSYNC_ARGS
+</code></pre>
+<p>The online version of this manpage (that includes cross-linking of topics)
+is available at <a href="https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync-ssl.1">https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync-ssl.1</a>.</p>
+<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION<a href="#DESCRIPTION" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>The rsync-ssl script helps you to run an rsync copy to/from an rsync daemon
+that requires ssl connections.</p>
+<p>The script requires that you specify an rsync-daemon arg in the style of either
+<code>hostname::</code> (with 2 colons) or <code>rsync://hostname/</code>. The default port used for
+connecting is 874 (one higher than the normal 873) unless overridden in the
+environment. You can specify an overriding port via <code>--port</code> or by including
+it in the normal spot in the URL format, though both of those require your
+rsync version to be at least 3.2.0.</p>
+<h2 id="OPTIONS">OPTIONS<a href="#OPTIONS" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>If the <strong>first</strong> arg is a <code>--type=SSL_TYPE</code> option, the script will only use
+that particular program to open an ssl connection instead of trying to find an
+openssl or stunnel executable via a simple heuristic (assuming that the
+<code>RSYNC_SSL_TYPE</code> environment variable is not set as well&nbsp;-&#8288;-&#8288; see below). This
+option must specify one of <code>openssl</code> or <code>stunnel</code>. The equal sign is
+required for this particular option.</p>
+<p>All the other options are passed through to the rsync command, so consult the
+<strong>rsync</strong>(1) manpage for more information on how it works.</p>
+<h2 id="ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES">ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES<a href="#ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES" class="tgt"></a></h2>
+<p>The ssl helper scripts are affected by the following environment variables:</p>
+<dl>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_TYPE"><code>RSYNC_SSL_TYPE</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_TYPE" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>Specifies the program type that should be used to open the ssl connection.
+It must be one of <code>openssl</code> or <code>stunnel</code>. The <code>--type=SSL_TYPE</code> option
+overrides this, when specified.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_PORT"><code>RSYNC_SSL_PORT</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_PORT" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>If specified, the value is the port number that is used as the default when
+the user does not specify a port in their rsync command. When not
+specified, the default port number is 874. (Note that older rsync versions
+(prior to 3.2.0) did not communicate an overriding port number value to the
+helper script.)</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_CERT"><code>RSYNC_SSL_CERT</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_CERT" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>If specified, the value is a filename that contains a certificate to use
+for the connection.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_KEY"><code>RSYNC_SSL_KEY</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_KEY" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>If specified, the value is a filename that contains a key for the provided
+certificate to use for the connection.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_CA_CERT"><code>RSYNC_SSL_CA_CERT</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_CA_CERT" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>If specified, the value is a filename that contains a certificate authority
+certificate that is used to validate the connection.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_OPENSSL"><code>RSYNC_SSL_OPENSSL</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_OPENSSL" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>Specifies the openssl executable to run when the connection type is set to
+openssl. If unspecified, the $PATH is searched for &quot;openssl&quot;.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_GNUTLS"><code>RSYNC_SSL_GNUTLS</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_GNUTLS" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>Specifies the gnutls-cli executable to run when the connection type is set
+to gnutls. If unspecified, the $PATH is searched for &quot;gnutls-cli&quot;.</p>
+</dd>
+
+<dt id="RSYNC_SSL_STUNNEL"><code>RSYNC_SSL_STUNNEL</code><a href="#RSYNC_SSL_STUNNEL" class="tgt"></a></dt><dd>
+<p>Specifies the stunnel executable to run when the connection type is set to
+stunnel. If unspecified, the $PATH is searched first for &quot;stunnel4&quot; and
+then for &quot;stunnel&quot;.</p>
+</dd>

+<p>Note that using an stunnel connection requires at least version 4 of stunnel,
+which should be the case on modern systems. Also, it does not verify a
+connection against the CA certificate collection, so it only encrypts the
+connection without any cert validation unless you have specified the
+certificate environment options.</p>
+<p>This script also supports a <code>--type=gnutls</code> option, but at the time of this
+release the gnutls-cli command was dropping output, making it unusable. If
+that bug has been fixed in your version, feel free to put gnutls into an
+exported RSYNC_SSL_TYPE environment variable to make its use the default.</p>
