Hi,
first of all excuse my bad english...
you didn't let me answer you ...
Well, i've been just working with rsync also, and want to use
the --files-from option and write the same command.
And my question is: wouldn't it be the "correct" behavior to
provide just one file with the --files-from without writting a
source dir?
I mean, the content of the files-from file shows the sources which
i want to rsync so, why do i have to provide anything else?
It was just my point..
Thanks, and again excuse my english...

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
