(I'm assuming that you're using the --relative option, or you wouldn't be having this issue.) If you're pushing dirs, do a chdir before calling rsync and then copy a relative path: cd /a/b/c/d/e/f/g rsync -avR h/myfile remote:/backup If you're pushing OR pulling, you can accomplish the same thing using --files-from: echo h/myfile | rsync -av --files-from=- remote:/a/b/c/d/e/f/g /backup With --files-from, the source path specifies the default dir, and the --relative option is on by default, so you'd end up with your desired result. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
