I usually use the '--delete' option which removes files from the destination that are no longer on the source. As others have said, rsync is *incredibly* flexible & useful. I also use it to mirror files & directories between servers, sometimes over ssh and sometimes via an rsync server. I generally run a simple script via cron and send the output to a temporary logfile - just in case I need to see what happened. > Ashley M.
