What does the "--delete" do?! I want to make a complete copy of, say, /usr/home/kline/* from here [tao] to my Ubuntu server, ethos, which has a "/home" mountpoint--- in otheer words: /home/kline/*. If the "--delete /usr/home* /home" syntax will let rsync rewrite /usr/home to /home, then fine. gary > > -Girish > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
