Seen that, tried that, did not work, it deleted all my links and
started downloading the files again. Apparently, judging by the
title of this option it only follows directory symlinks, I have file
symlinks. A little reading of my exact question might be
appropriate, would it not?<br>
<br>
Anyway, I have found out that the md5sum tool follows symlinks, so
I am writing my own bash script now to do what I want - without
using rsync.<br>

So this feed can be closed.<br>

Check the man page on:
--copy-dirlinks
Or Google for an example:
