The output of --list-only isn't as I expected as regards symlinks. Here are my test files: $ ls ./src -rw------- 1 michael michael 0 2018-09-05 09:18:15 file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 4 2018-09-05 09:18:28 near_symlink -> file lrwxrwxrwx 1 michael michael 23 2018-09-05 09:19:05 far_symlink -> /home/michael/Documents The "destination" dir is empty: $ ls ./dest

My apologies. I'm evidently not communicating very well. I am not asking for a list of what "needs to be transferred", I am looking for a list of those things that are "candidates to transfer". In other words, the source items minus exclusions/filters or anything else that will be ignored (by rsync). Is there any option for rsync that offers such a list? > find

Thank you. But I'm afraid I don't understand. The man entry reads: "--list-only This option will cause the source files to be listed instead of transferred. This option is inferred if there is a single source arg and no destination specified..." It doesn't say anything about "list remote files". In fact I am not sure why it would even contact the remote
