Yes, I could see that being possible -- your update scenario is even an interesting example. It's actually easy to have the remote sender open the file list on the sending side with the addition of a little code that allows the --files-from name to be prefixed by a hostname (that must match the sender's hostname). > Come to think of it, if the data lives on the remote server, where > would a local files-from list come from? How would it be generated? Since the list is manually generated I imagine that either the user has advanced knowledge of what is to be grabbed or the user first runs a remote command (via ssh, perhaps) that generates the list. ..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
