-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --delete and --files-from don't work together.
- --files-from is for specifying an exact list of what to copy. Therefore there can't be anything to delete because there is nothing it looks at other than the specified list. Also, never ever use "dest/*" Your shell will expand that to a list of everything that matches "dest/*" and rsync will think you are specifying a bunch of additional sources with the very last one being the target. Nothing good will happen. On 07/07/13 02:33, Garvit Sharma wrote: > Hello All, > > *rsync -av --files-from=FILE --delete-before src/ dest/* > > the above mentioned command not working.
