rsync doesn't use a tmp-directory by default. The default is to make it a "."-file with an additions random extension to the filename. So in your case there should be a commandline (rsync.conf?) option set that does that (If i read the man-page correctly, it's -T/--temp-dir). Just remove it and rsync falls back to default behaviour. If you don't want tmp-files at all, with "--inplace" you instruct rsync to change files "inplace", but you should read the man-page for the gotchas. -- Matthias -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
