No, The Files are move from the SOURCE not from the destination.

What i want are is , if we move the files on SRC from dir A to B. If we do sync it will still continue syncing on DEST  dir A.

Original

SRC >> DEST

A >>>A  

B >>>B

We want this option 

B>>>A 

Or simply, what is the option can i tell rsync to put files on source dir B to destination dir A.

>>>>(2) you merely want to compare B on the source to A on the destination, >>>>or

We also want this option. Is it --link-dest= ?

If my explanation is not enough let me know, im a newbie to rsync.

But anyway thanks for the reply.
