I am a big fan of rsync, but the more I use it, the more I become frustrated at rsync's asymetrical functionality. For instance, I can do this:

rsync /A/ /B/ desthost:/AB

but not this:

rsync srchost:/A/ srchost:/B/ /AB

(The real usefulness for me comes from using the --delete flag with
those commands.)


Ideally, it would be great if the rsync usage read:


  rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:DEST
  rsync [OPTION]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:SRC [EMAIL PROTECTED]:SRC]... DEST
  rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
  rsync [OPTION]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]::SRC [EMAIL PROTECTED]::SRC]... [DEST]
  rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [EMAIL PROTECTED]::DEST
  rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT]/SRC
[rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:PORT]/SRC]... [DEST]


Any thoughts?


Thanks.

Greg
