Rsync for Tasker

An Android app providing Tasker plugin actions to allow running rsync over SSH.

Tasker is a very useful and widely used automation app for Android with a plugin architecture that allows other apps (such as this one) to add extra functionality.

This app provides the following actions for use within Tasker:

Generate Private Key - Generates a private key to use for SSH authentication
Get Public Key - Retrieves a public key from a previously generated private key
rsync - Run an rsync command to synchronise files to or from the device
dbclient - Run an SSH command non-interactively (experimental)

The packaged native binaries of Dropbear and rsync are my own builds which I keep updated with new releases.

Rsync for Tasker is free to use and open source, licensed under the terms of the GPL. You can browse or download the source at the GitHub repository.
