Hi, I read below lines in rsync v3.0.5 for --relative option. if you used this command: rsync -av /foo/bar/baz.c remote:/tmp/ ... this would create a file named baz.c in /tmp/ on the remote machine. If instead you used rsync -avR /foo/bar/baz.c remote:/tmp/ then a file named /tmp/foo/bar/baz.c would be created on the remote machine, preserving its full path
It is also possible to limit the amount of path information that is sent as implied directories for each path you specify. With a modern rsync on the sending side (beginning with 2.6.7), you can insert a dot and a slash into the source path, like this: rsync -avR /foo/./bar/baz.c remote:/tmp/ That would create /tmp/bar/baz.c on the remote machine. (note the line in blue) This says we can use relative option only from source to destination. Could any one tell me how could I use relative option from remote machine to source machine like below: rsync -avR remote:/foo/./bar/. /tmp/ I want to sync everything in /foo/bar/ on remote machine to /tmp/bar/ on source machine. Currently this command creates /tmp/foo/bar/ directory. Thanks, Jignesh
