Well, actually in my last attempt, files are getting deleted (I used
the -n switch to not waste my actually transferred data) on the
destination path...

OK, I'll retry with trailing path on source and if it doesn't matter
whether or not there's also one in the destination path, I'll leave it
as it is (*with* trailing slash)...

Get back to you soon, as I get some more trials done.
