Can this be done with rsync? I have two machines, (a) and (b). (a)= has a fast connection (b)= has a very slow connection Both have a directory called /debian which on day one is identical.
The copy of /debian on (a) is synced weekly with a debian site. On day 30 (a)'s and (b)'s copies of /debian are quite different. The owner of (a) will put any files I want on a cd and mail it to me. I would like run rsync on (a) and reference the files on (b) and create a /debian-move directory on (a) that only contains the files which are in (a)'s /debian directory, but not on (b)'s. Is this possible with rsync? I have figured out the following, not very straightforward, way of doing this: 1. run a find on /debian on (a) to find all the directories 2. create the directories for /debian-move based on this information 3. run rsync in dry run mode 4. massage this data to figure what needs to be copied 5. copy these files Is there a better way?
