Hi !
I have a tree of files on PC A and a tree of files on PC B. PC B runs
rsync in server mode. PC A connects to the rsync server.
There is a file containing the files that rsync should copy efficiently
from PC A to PC B. This works.
Now there are files I want to have deleted on PC B. They don't exist on
PC A. I hoped I could just add them to the list of files given to
--from-files, but the sender just tells me "failed: No such file or
directory (2)" and goes on. Is there a switch/a way to make rsync delete
the file if it exists on PC B? This surprised me because when you crawl
through a directory completely, rsync deletes files on the receiver side
as well, even though - or better because - they don't exist an the
sender side.
I use cwrsync on windows.
This is rsync --version:
