Hello.. I'm attempting to copy/sync a development directory on my laptop to our web server, and for some reason dot-files are being copied but not deleted.
Command line: rsync -rvva --delete-after -e ssh ./ server.com:/var/www/html/project/ The symptom is that I've got files like '.Makefile.swp' and '.hidden.php.swp' on the server (vi temp files) even after deleting them from the laptop and running the rsync command again. If I create a file called '.foo' and run rsync, it will be created on the server, but if I delete .foo and run rsync again, it isn't deleted from the server. I've searched the web, but this is a hard problem to search for. I've read the documentation, but it says it should work. I've read some of the mailing list archive, but I didn't find a way to search it. I haven't read the source (yet), because I was hoping that there's someone who's seen this before. I've got Redhat 9.0, rsync-2.5.5-4.i386.rpm, openssh-3.7.1p2, ext3 file systems, using tcsh in an rxvt terminal window, and the phase of the moon is half-full. -- Penelope Fudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
