Hello, You should definitely be able to get buy with just the -a command for most functions. Also, why "--files-from"? That shouldn't be necessary.
A simple command would be: rsync -a (files from) (files to) If you're not comfortable trying this out, just enable the "dry run" flag. Look in 'man rsync' for assistance. Also, try doing a Google search for more info. Good luck! On Aug 20, 12:02 am, John Ohm <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure, but is it hanging on the -r tag?
