           Summary: escape rrsync restricted folder
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

It is possible to escape rrsync restricted folder by syncing (using rsync -a
...) a symbolic link to the parent folder and then syncing with this symbolic
link.

Concretely, we could do:

ln -s .. parent
rsync -acrvz . login at server:

and then we can rsync with login at server:parent to read/write files in the
parent folder of the restricted folder.
