I know this has been discussed repeatedly, so might even say beaten to
death, but it is a feature which I need to use.
I notice Wayne had a patch to do this listed in the list archives, but I
don't know what version of rsync he was patching against.
What is the general opinion on using this patch for reliable rsync'ing
of extremely small volumes of data of high cost, high latency comms
links?
We are basically working on a number of servers with 'In' and
'Out'
folders...
Any suggestions appreciated,
David.

You can snag a copy either using cvs or using one of the nightly tar files (from the web site). Some of the older-style patches are also still available. The last one I generated is here: http://www.blorf.net/rsync-2.6.0-delete-sent-files.patch A company I worked for used an rsync modified by this style of patch for quite a few years with nary a problem (starting with an older rsync version). ..wayne..
