its actually a "." ... what would a ',' do? :)
egad... heh... it would create a directory called "," ;) So you probably
don't want either.
Um, I'm with Marc: where's the "," exactly? Not that I'm an rsync guru,
but if there's a mistake here I do want to learn from it.
Just to be clear. The comma was a mistype. I was stating that you do not
want to use a period. If you use a period and you are not in the correct
directory, rsync will remove everything within your working directory.
It is always better to be explicit with an application that will
willingly remove your entire directory structure.
I know this, because I accidently did it once when manually pulling the
archives. I had to restore www.commandprompt.com from backup ;)
Sincerely,
