Subject: Rsync question

Hi there - various web pages indicated that the emails on the To lines could be used for general questions

so what the heck ... I'm having a problem getting a specific rsync option to work..

 

I am trying to copy a  list of files via rsync - the man pages indicate the --files-from option should work

but I cant seem to get this to work

 

 

the syntax I'm using is

 

rsync -vpgut --stats --bwlimit=50000 --no-relative --files-from=/tmp/DBA_TST.RSYNC_LST  /work/dba_arch/DBA_TST/

 

 

but I get an error that I cant seem to intrepet - nor find ANY examples of a proper files-from syntax

 

ctltest02:/tmp> rsync -vpgut --stats --bwlimit=50000 --no-relative --files-from=/tmp/DBA_TST.RSYNC_LST  /work/dba_arch/DBA_TST/
rsync  version 2.6.2  protocol version 28
