Ah, new post-2.x… *tries* No change, this still transfers the entire home directory. I think it’s meant for something else (I usually do quote whitespace and so on for remote if necessary). >BTW, why specify '--rsh=ssh -T', what's wrong with the default? The default can be anything, including rsh. By specifying this always, I know that ⓐ ssh is called, ⓑ -T is passed which makes ssh change its QoS from interactive to bulk, and ⓒ can add -4 or -6 to force the IP protocol version (I recently learnt that Debian has a local patch to pass -4/-6 from rsync to ssh, but Debian’s isn’t the only package I use). I always use a wrapper around rsync calling it like this (incidentally called rcp…). bye, //mirabilos -- > Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
