rsync - Feb 2010 - directory synchronization

Hi all,

I can?t seem to get this working. I need synchronize the files from a remote
directory to a local, and then delete the files on the remote after getting
them to local.

This is what I did that does not delete anything on any of the servers:



rsync --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync -v -t ?r ?delete -e /bin/ssh
/report/today user at server01:/report/*.rpt

I also used --delete-before, --delete-after, --delete-during, etc.. but same
result, files stay intact and nothing gets deleted.

Thank you,

You really need to read the description of those commands carefully.

You probably want --remove-source-files .
