Yes. Well the contents of the directory not the directory and its contents due to the missing trailing '/'. > > rsync --progress -zav -e ssh > <remote-server-ip-address>:/random/file-or-directory > /random/file-or-directory Then the opposite happens. Remote to local files are copied. But remember any extra files in the destination will not be deleted. You need to use --delete for that to happen. > I have set up the rysnc daemon successfully on the remote server (I > think), > which prompts for the password when I connect.

Get a working daemon and then list a rsync folder using a Rsync list command. Don't do anything else until you've got that working. You're trying to skip ahead me thinks. :-) -- Stuart Halliday This email is the property of ECS Technology Ltd. This company is registered in Scotland with company number 212513.
