This script will sync two directories between two servers. Basically we are using rsync features to run this program. Script will interactively request to input below details.
1) Remote server name or ip
2) Remote system user name
3) Local directory to sync
4) Remote directory to sync to
5) Check user need to copy timestamp and preserve permissions
