hello, i am having problems syncing directories. what i want to accomplish is the copying of a directory from a beta environment to a live environment. at the moment what i am doing is this: /usr/local/bin/rsync -rtv --include '*/' --include 'dir/to/publish' --exclude '*' /web/beta/betawebsite user@webserver::web/livewebsite unfortunately this takes ages, as rsync of course runs through the entire list of directories on the beta site. the problems that arise are that parent directories sometimes do not exist (in this example 'dir' might not exist), as they have not yet been published to the live environment, so i don't really see any other way of doing this? can anybody nudge me into the right direction? :) thanks Ben -- He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom.

-R, --relative
Use relative paths. This means that the full path names
specified on the command line are sent to the server
rather than just the last parts of the filenames. This
is particularly useful when you want to send several
different directories at the same time. For example, if
you used the command
rsync foo/bar/foo.c remote:/tmp/
SunOS 5.7 Last change: 29 May 2001 8
User Commands rsync(1)
then this would create a file called foo.c in /tmp/ on
the remote machine. If instead you used
rsync -R foo/bar/foo.c remote:/tmp/
then a file called /tmp/foo/bar/foo.c would be created
on the remote machine. The full path name is preserved.

Subject: problem with parent directories
Classification:
hello,
i am having problems syncing directories. what i want to accomplish is the
copying of a directory from a beta environment to a live environment. at
the moment what i am doing is this:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -rtv --include '*/' --include
'dir/to/publish'
--exclude '*' /web/beta/betawebsite user@webserver::web/livewebsite
unfortunately this takes ages, as rsync of course runs through the entire
list of directories on the beta site. the problems that arise are that
parent directories sometimes do not exist (in this example 'dir' might
not
exist), as they have not yet been published to the live environment, so i
don't really see any other way of doing this?
can anybody nudge me into the right direction? :)
thanks
Ben
