By default, all the path segments in the files-from file are a part of the transfer unless you turn off the implied --relative option, in which case no directory elements from the source paths are used. So, either (1) move path elements out of the files-from file to the source dir arg, (2) specify --no-relative and specify the full destination path to where you want the directory files to go, or (3) insert a "/./" dir to specify the cut point for files-from path information (but prior to 3.0.5 the sender needs to be in the same dir as the source path to avoid a bug). So, option 1 would mean stripping things like /var/cache/zypp/packages from the start of the files-from paths and specifying that source path on the command line as "/var/cache/zypp/packages" instead of "/". In option 3, files-from lines would look like this: /var/cache/zypp/packages/openSUSE-11.0-Updates/rpm/./x86_64/satsolver-tools-0.9.5_0.9.6-0.1.x86_64.delta.rpm Put that '/./' dir wherever you want to cut off the path info that is included in the transfer. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
