thanks Bob.
The timestamp relative to the local first prior to any remote diffing. Is that what you meant?
I think so. It compares the size and timestamp of your local file with the remote one of the same name of course. If it all matches nothing is done unless you force it.
If it does that then it is not doing what I'm asking about.
I need to know if it checks the local files relative to a local log file that it keeps of previous rsyncings. If it finds differences between the local file and the log file content will it then and only them perform a diff with the remote file with the same name?

Is there a way to make rsync check the local file system for changes in the files prior to it performing a diff with the remote site?
My understanding is that it does nothing if your file(s) has the same timestamp and size. Unless you use the -I ( --ignore-times ) option.
