Thanks for your post I was able to find --numeric-ids quicker than in the man page ;-) Wed, 20 Feb 2019 18:48:00 +0000 ck https://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article19/rsync-options/#c1529776979-1 https://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article19/rsync-options/#c1529776979-1 Google led me straight to you, and the explanation of --numeric-ids Thanks for putting this in plain language. :) Sat, 23 Jun 2018 18:02:00 +0000 Ron https://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article19/rsync-options/#c1389469620-1 https://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article19/rsync-options/#c1389469620-1 Very good article on rsync. Here is one from around 1999 but still the very best rsync tutorial I've ever read. Explains it very well IMO: http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/ Admin edit: Replaced a commercial URL redirection by the real URL. Sat, 11 Jan 2014 19:47:00 +0000 Mike
