Sure, it copies every file that it finds unless you tell it not to. The best way to handle active uploads is to send them to an "in transfer" dir (which can be ignored) or use a specific idiom for temp-files (which can also be ignored -- see excludes). At the end of the transfer, the ftp sender would then rename the file to its final name/location. If you want to limit files based on recency of update, you'll have to make your own file list and control rsync more directly (such as using the --files-from option). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
