--- Comment #5 from Dave Gordon <dg32...@zoho.eu> --- I think you need to add "--no-implied-dirs" to get the behaviour you want. The issue is that the contents list contains /a/b/c, so problems with that specific file are suppressed by "--ignore-missing-args", but /a/b is not a missing argument, it's a missing implied directory. Adding the extra flag means that it won't be (implicitly) transferred, but would instead be created on the destination if necessary. Then you just get a warning about the file that's vanished: $ rsync -slt --delete-missing-args --files-from=list src trg file has vanished: ".../src/a/b" ABORTING due to invalid path from sender: a/b/c rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at generator.c(1270) [generator=3.1.1] $ rsync -slt --delete-missing-args --no-implied-dirs --files-from=list src trg file has vanished: ".../src/a/b" rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.1] HTH, .Dave. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
