https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4621#c3 http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-October/018993.html Rsync does not create parents of the specified destination directory. You can instead move to a higher destination directory and use --relative to place the files appropriately under it, and rsync will create intervening directories as necessary: rsync -avz --relative /tmp/mytest/rsync-test/dir-test/parent-dir/ desthost:/ The behavior here is the same regardless of incremental recursion. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
