I would like to know if someone know the syntax while calling the server. I have seen that rsync uses ssh to launch rsync in server mode with parameters like this : rsync --server --sender . /files_needed However, this syntax isn't documented anywhere. What is the aim of the '.' before the path ? Bob

I assume it is a left-over from older rsync versions. ..wayne..
