But they *are* flattened exactly like on the command-line, at least in my current patch they are. That's what -R is for -- telling rsync not to do that. So, without -R there are no implied directories to create except for the destination dir (which is created if it doesn't exist). > The permissions and ownership should be derived from the source. > so effectively it should be as though > ./deltapics > where in the file list. Right. In fact, that's exactly what happens with -R -- all intermediate directories get added to the file list (if they aren't already in it) without causing any extra recursion (even if -r was specified/implied). If people want the "--files-from" to imply "-R" then I'd want to see a "--no-relative" option to let people turn it off. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
