Did your rsync invocation include either of those arguments? If yes, I recommend you read the man page under the explanation of that argument. From the explanation I see there, the character sequence you gave as "some of" would mean: < - an item being transferred to the remote host . - the item is not being updated + - the item is newly created f - the item is a file c - the checksum of the item is different from what it was before t - the modification timestamp of the item is different d - the item is a directory s - the item is a symlink and since some of those are mutually incompatible, I can only presume that these are taken from different entries. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
