Oddly (?) enough, you can make a ".FILE" using a dos prompt (cmd), but
not using the win GUI. RMB->Create new->Text file on your desktop (or
anywhere using windows explorer) and try and create a file named
".dotfile". You can't do it (in XP-pro anyways).

For this specific example you could probably wildcard match the files with a

If I specify this option on a 2.6.3 server config, will it still be effective
even if the clients are 2.6.0 (or possibly 2.5.6, I'm still pestering them to

I use the following bit of shell to check whether an rsync server is up:

It could be a timing issue that means there's no route or server
available at that time. Given the length of the command line, I'd be
tempted to put it in a shell script with a connection checker:

The difference between dump/* and dump/ is the list of files you are
giving to rsync in the first place.
With dump/*:
For each file in dump/, do {

Logically, this is correct behaviour, I think.
dump/* is a wildcard that matches every _existing_ local file in the
dump/ directory. Since the file you deleted doesn't exist, it isn't
considered by rsync.
dump/ tells rsync to compare the contents of the local dump/ directory
with those of the

I found that if you need to pass command line arguments to ssh you need
to use:

Using -e, if I remember it correctly, just tries to execute a command
called "ssh -i key" which, obviously,
