You're sending a list of files, not a directory (since '*' is expanded
by the shell into a list of files). The --delete option only works on
a directory-to-directory transfer, so try using this instea
#x27;ve told rsync not to sync "c", so it would have no
reason to delete it at the destination directory. Try using "." instead of
"*" to get more reliable results.

Hi
I just started to use rsync & samba to backup some windows NT & 98 shared directories
to a linux machine
linux: debian 2.2.4
rsync: 2.2.5
samba: 2.2.3a-6
I first mount the windows directory on the linux and then do a
local rsync.
---command on linux
umount /data/transfer
mount -t smbfs -o
