##### 16.5.19.3 Configuring rsync usage

GPS has native support for the rsync tool, for paths synchronization during remote programming operations.

By default, GPS will use –rsh=ssh option if ssh is the main connection tool for the concerned server. It will also define the -L switch when transfering files to a Windows local host.

It is possible to define additional arguments to rsync using the `rsync_configuration` tag.

This tag accepts the child tagged `arguments`, and containing additional arguments to pass to rsync.
