Solution #1 (uses -R): cd /scratch-dir mkdir foreign ln -s /some/local/path foreign/directory rsync -avR --no-implied-dirs foreign/directory/file.zip host:/other rm -rf foreign That causes rsync to duplicate the relative path dirs as dirs instead of making the last one a symlink. Solution #2 (sends the dirs separately): cd /scratch-dir mkdir -p foreign/directory rsync -av foreign host:/other rsync -av /some/local/path/file.zip host:/other/foreign/directory rm -rf foreign Solution #3 (makes the dirs without using rsync): ssh host mkdir -p /other/foreign/directory rsync -av /some/local/path/file.zip host:/other/foreign/directory ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
