No, all the --delete* options delete files from the receiver if their counterparts on the sender have disappeared. Maybe you're confusing them with --remove-sent-files, which does delete transferred regular files and symlinks from the sender. In fact, I think --remove-sent-files is the only option that causes rsync to modify the sender in any way. -- Matt McCutchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hashproduct.metaesthetics.net/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
