Hello,
I have the same structure on 2 machines.
I want to keep them in sync.
I change a file (ZZZ.ods) on the one with IP address AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
and then rsync from the other as follows
~$ rsync -avh AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:/home/john/Documents/ ./Documents/
Password:
receiving file list ... done
Documents/X/Y/ZZZ.ods
But the file ~/Documents/X/Y/ZZZ.ods on the machine I am issuing the
command on does not change!
Some ideas:
- I'm always adding a dot after the end slashes of directory paths
(rsync -avh AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:/home/john/Documents/. ./Documents/. ),
this makes sure the tool doesn't inadvertently create a subdirectoy like
./Documents/Documents/
- issue "find ./Documents -name ZZZ.ods" to see whether there is more
than one of the same name (for example to check if the above happened).
- check with "md5sum" whether the documents are the same or not
- maybe quit openoffice before opening the document again.
Christian.
