Subject: Rsync question
Hi there - various web pages indicated that the emails on the To lines could be
used for general questions
so what the heck ... I'm having a problem getting a specific rsync option
to work..
I am trying to copy a list of files via rsync - the man pages indicate the
--files-from option should work
but I cant seem to get this to work
the syntax I'm using is
rsync -vpgut --stats --bwlimit=50000 --no-relative
--files-from=/tmp/DBA_TST.RSYNC_LST /work/dba_arch/DBA_TST/
but I get an error that I cant seem to intrepet - nor find ANY examples of a
proper files-from syntax
ctltest02:/tmp> rsync -vpgut --stats --bwlimit=50000 --no-relative
--files-from=/tmp/DBA_TST.RSYNC_LST /work/dba_arch/DBA_TST/
rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28
