Not what I want. > To do that with rsync you need to specify the destination directory, leaving off the destination filename part. e.g. if you want to create /dest/foobar from /src/foobar, you would copy: rsync -aiv /src/foobar /dest/ See also --force if you want a /dest/foobar dir to be removed even if it is not empty. If you're wanting to change the name of a file for the transfer, the only way to do that with this idiom is to create the new name on the source side for the transfer, e.g.: ln -s /src/foobar barbaz rsync -aiv -L barbaz /dest/ rm barbaz ..wayne..
