Hello all,
We're using rsync to move files from a server to a client (an embedded device, connected over GPRS) using a cron script on the client. To accomplish this, we use the --delete-source-files option. As I found in the archives, this doesn't remove any folders. Is there a way to have rsync remove the folders as well? As all data flows over the internet, we encrypt it using an SSH tunnel. This tunnel is setup once, and then reused for several rsync sessions, like this: rsync --port <forwarded local port> localhost::share/* /tmp/source/ That rules out any --rsync-path= trickery, right? The reason we'd like to reuse the SSH tunnel is that we need a tunnel anyway for other tools, and SSH-authentication is rather slow (it takes about 10 seconds). This make something like "rsync -e 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]'" even slower. The client is using rsync 3.0.4 on a custom Linux kernel and ARM platform. The server uses rsync 2.6.9 (but could be upgraded if required) on a stock x86 Linux kernel. Thanks, Jeroen van der Vegt System designer ________________________________ Technolution B.V.
