Actually, I think i was wrong.  Might it work pulling instead of pushing? 
If not, I'll point out that you have ssh access, which makes it easy to 
grab the list of what you've got, compare it to what you should have, and 
delete what you shouldn't.

check this out:  "echo rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete i_* user@host:/dir/".
it expands to "sync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete <all existing i_* files> 
user@host:/dir/"  It won't mention the ones that are gone.
rsync the directory/. including i_* and excluding * (the order matters).
rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete ./. --include=i_* --exclude=* 
user@host:/dir/

Hi,

I'm using rsync for a couple of things but I am at a point where I could 
not find a solution for my problem.

this is what I want to do:

rsync only the files i_* from a directory from machine A to machine Bi and 
delete them from machine B if they on longer exist on machine A.

so I use the command:

rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete i_* user@host:/dir/

When using this command the files starting with i_ will get placed on the 
remote server or even updated when I change them but if I delete a file on 
machine A it will not be deleted on machine B.
This is only a problem if I use i_* as my source.  If i sync whole 
directories (recursive or not) it's no problem at all to get files deleted 
on the other end.

Is there anything to do about this ?

Regards,

Pepijn Palmans
