Drew,
Thanks for the response! I'll try the -c option in a few days (I booted
back into windows for a few days of work that I must get done).
However, I guess I wasn't very clear, the point of touching the local
file was to create a mismatch between the date and time of the local
copy and the remote copy. Would the -c option do something more than
would be done based on the date mismatch?
Also, in a subsequent email I raise the question about whether the
problem is because my local partition is a vfat partition. Any idea?
Thanks again!
