--target

Sets the destination where the data is to be sent. --target can be a local path, stdout or an IP:port when acting as an IP client.

IP Server :
./xsidiff --source=10.0.0.1:33 --target=[file2]

./xsidiff --source=[file1] --target=10.0.0.1:33

EXAMPLES:

./xsidiff --source=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/MyVM/MyVM-flat.vmdk --target=/vmfs/volumes/backup/MyVM/MyVM-flat.vmdk
./xsidiff --source=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/MyVM/MyVM-flat.vmdk --target=stdout | ssh root@10.0.0.1 "/path/to/xsidiff --source=stdin --target=/vmfs/volumes/backup/MyVM-flat.vmdk"


Set server to listen at local IP 192.168.0.100 port 33, copy receiving file to [file2] Once the server is listening run the client setting [file1] as source and point it to the server

./xsidiff --source=192.168.0.100:33 --target=[file2]


Run client when server is listening

./xsidiff --source=[file1] --target=10.0.0.1:33
