Whoo-hoo. Question answered in less time than it took to write it. $ rsync --recursive [EMAIL PROTECTED]::gsh/ .
did exactly what I want. The wildcard was there so the cron job could add an extension (as in [EMAIL PROTECTED]::gsh/*$ext), but I can work around it in this job and just copy all the files from the directory. Thanks very much for the quick answer.

Just remove the wildcard and let rsync transfer the whole directory: rsync [EMAIL PROTECTED]::gsh/ . While you're at it, you should probably add (at least) the -t option, which will preserve timestamps and make future updated copies faster (or just use -a). ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
