All the files and directories I want to talk about are on the same machine (a Mac). I have a directory that I will call SOURCE. This contains a a number of files, some of which are directories containing further files. I want to copy these files to another directory, which I will call TARGET. Please assume that SOURCE and TARGET include absolute path-names. I think they should also end in a slash

I'm probably missing something, but it looks like your first requirement rules out using --delete, but your third requirement seems to imply the need for it because you want the source and target to be identical - and it won't be if there are any files on the target which are not on the source. If this is the case, then you may have to use more than pass - the first at the top-level

You should be fine as long as you don't add --delete. I would start with rsync -vai --dry-run SOURCE/ TARGET/ Add whatever the OSX specific option is (I think -E) Yes, --dry-run shows you what it would have done without --dry-run and yes, if you can't read all the files then you need to run it as root.

Thanks for the helpful advice. In view of the conflicting advice from Joe and Kevin I tried creating a couple of very small directories test1 and test2, to see what happens when the rsync command rsync -avi —dry-run test1/ test2/ is given. I was pleased to see that —dry-run does explicitly say when a file is being deleted. Joe’s email is correct and it seems that Kevin’s version would not satisfy

Good morning, I wrote a little code in R which has to show two graphs but I can get only one. How can I adress the graphs in two files? Second, I'd like, always in the same code, to add a legend to a graph. Better, I'd like to put in such a legend a new item whose color could remind the colour ol the columns it refers to in the plot. I wrote: leg.txt<-c("control

I hate to say it because it goes against my normal advice but this is one instance where using a * in the source parameter would help... rsync -vaiE --delete --dry-run source/* target/ This would ignore any top level directory that is on the target but not the source while rsyncing with --delete any top level directory that is on the source. It is normally recommended to not use a * in the
