Dear rsync-list, I got following issue demonstrated by this script: ----- $ mkdir -p src/a trg/a $ echo "/a/b/c" > list $ /usr/bin/rsync -slt --ignore-errors --force --ignore-missing-args --delete-missing-args --files-from=list src localhost:`pwd`/trg file has vanished: "/home/axel/src/a/b" ABORTING due to invalid path from sender: a/b/c rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at generator.c(1270) [generator=3.1.2] $ echo $? 2 $ /usr/local/bin/rsync --version rsync version 3.1.2 protocol version 31 Copyright (C) 1996-2015 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

Both happens properly if the target is local instead of ssh transfer. Looking at the code in generator.c this could be workarounded by providing "-r", since it's in an if (inc_recurse ... ), but then it would sync more than only files specified in the list. Did I overlook an option to ignore these errors or is this something with rsync? Kind regards, Axel PS: Not providing the non existing path in the 'list' file is not an option, since this is actually a way the live syncing daemon Lsyncd calls rsync and as the daemon always lags behind the filesystem actions, the directory which was there a second ago, might be gone when it comes to the call of rsync.
