With a modern rsync on the sending side (beginning with 2.6.7), you can insert a dot and a slash into the source path, like this: rsync -avR /foo/./bar/baz.c remote:/tmp/ That would create /tmp/bar/baz.c on the remote machine. (Note that the dot must be followed by a slash, so "/foo/." would not be abbreviated.) Thus, your path tells rsync to take the contents of the /home/usr/directory path and send its contents without any implied directories, which puts its content at the root of the transfer. ..wayne.. >
