Several years ago is not now. As for another browser, well, at work I'm stuck with IE6, and since it can do this, I take advantage of it occasionally. Off-work, I occasionally use IE6 for other reasons. Like it or not, IE6 is STILL about fifty percent of the traffic to my websites. So I do need to look at them from that point of view occasionally. -- Wes Groleau Methods meddling by amateurs http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=889

I'd love to see it since I've never had much luck with rsync.

Below is a shell script, "sync-goldmark.org.sh" which I use. =============== #!/bin/bash RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync SSH=/usr/bin/ssh # rsync arguments to go recursive, presever soft links, and timestamps # I can't use -a here because I don't want to preseve permissions, and # can't change owner and group and devices EXTRA=$* ARCHIVE_STYLE=-Crltp # double verbose (will switch to "quiet" if this gets run from Cron) VERBOSE="-v" EXCLUDE='.DS_Store' # testing #TEST=-n TEST= SRC=$HOME/Work/Websites/www.goldmark.org/public_html/ DEST=jeffrey(a)winky.ewd.goldmark.org:/usr/local/www/apache22/data/goldmark.org $RSYNC $EXTRA $TEST $ARCHIVE_STYLE $VERBOSE --exclude $EXCLUDE \ -e $SSH $SRC $DEST =============== Note that I have a trailing slash on my source, but I don't on my destination. (This is something that can trip people up when using rsync.) -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read HTML or poorly quoting posts Reply-To address is valid

I use this to synchronize (deploy) only changed items of a web application I'm writing from my local SVN workspace to a web server: -- #!/usr/bin/perl my $DEBUG = 1; use strict; if ($DEBUG) { use diagnostics; use warnings FATAL => 'all'; } # config vars my $rsync = '/usr/bin/rsync'; my $source = '~/Documents/Subversion/myfolder/trunk/'; my $dest = 'my.hostname.net:/Users/me/Sites/myfolder/'; my $output = '~/Desktop/deploy.out'; my @excludes = ( 'logs/', 'cache/', 'templates_c/', '*.log', '.DS_Store' ); # build exclusion switches my $excludes = ''; foreach my $expression (@excludes) { $excludes .= "--exclude='$expression' "; } chop ($excludes); # build the command my $command = "$rsync -vcrz --progress --itemize-changes $excludes --cvs-exclude $source $dest > $output"; # execute the command my $result = `$command`; print "Done.\n"; print "Output is at $output\n"; -- After running it, deploy.out contains a log of the operation, including a list of the files that were transferred. It looks like this: -- building file list ... 0 files... 100 files... 200 files... 300 files... 331 files to consider <fcsT.... php/login.php 3480 67% 6.62kB/s 0:00:00 5144 100% 9.79kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#59, to-check=30/331) .. .. .. sent 137912 bytes received 4666 bytes 7311.69 bytes/sec total size is 1982104 speedup is 13.90 -- -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

So a more usual command might be more like: rsync -az -e ssh source server:sitedir Ian -- Ian Gregory http://www.zenatode.org.uk/ |
