rsync - Oct 2001 - create directories

if i do an rsync to the current directory, how come the parent directory
isn't created?

I normally just get my files spewed into the current directory,
eventhough I am trying to transfer a directory.

Something like this

rsync -avp host::module/ .

If you want the module directory to be created, you need to remove the /
  rsync -avp host::module .


Tony Shum

"rsync -avp host::module/ ." - Simple commandline - here's what it
says:

recursively copy the contents of host::module into the current directory, copy
symbolic links, copy permissions, copy timestamps, copy group ownership, copy
user ownership, copy device files.  be verbose, and copy permissions.  the copy
permissions
duplication was intentional, as it's also in the options.

If, in fact, you want to create ./module, you need this: "rsync -avp
host::module ."  The / at the end of the source says to use the contents of
the source, not the source itself - a subtle but important difference.
