Rsync does not determine how many files are going to be transferred
prior to the transfer, as that would involve an extra pre-transfer
directory scan.  Rsync just knows how many files the sender specified,
and what position it is in this list.  That information is output via
--progress, but it is in a human-oriented format.

rsync +progress +percentage

2004-11-26 Thread David Jacoby
Hi everyone!
Im new to this list and i searched the archive for any dupes of this subject
but didnt find any.
I have a small problem, i want to use rsync to keep all of our systems 
up 2 date
but recently we had some servers that only did a half update. We want to be
able to see a progress indicator of the  transfer. The best thing was if 
there was any
way to get it in percentage or only a list of how many files its going 
to transfer before
the actual transfer starts. We can do this by doing a --dry-run but i 
dont want read the
file list two times i want to do this as fast as possible.

Is there some way to get any parsable information before the actual 
transfer stats?

Best regards
David Jacoby
