cp won't transfer file deletions. Also, what do they call "newer?" If it's just checking timestamp, then rsync is definitely more advanced. If you're going across a reasonably fast link (1Gb, or perhaps, even 100Mb) then compression will slow you down. Should get rid of -z Should probably add --delete _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
