rsync server and --delete option

[Xavier]

Ok it worked out that way, but as a matter of fact neither the --dry-run option
nor the effective action did output that it will delete those files...

I even tried to see what it would output with -vvv option and nothing.

So finally, it's working out for me, but it would be neat if it would output
something.

Thanks

Xavier

p.s. I join my test on a seperate text file.

Here I list the content of the remote server (RSYNC server)

    user:/temp$rsync serverB::wwwroot/temp/

Here is the list of the local folder I want to synchronize

I create 2 files on the serverB (ohyeah.txt, blabla.txt), then I list
the content of the folder on serverB

    user:/temp$rsync serverB::wwwroot/temp/

I try a --dry-run to check what will happend

    user:/temp$rsync -nPur --delete /temp/ serverB::wwwroot/temp/

    wrote 266 bytes  read 40 bytes  612.00 bytes/sec

I run rsync and get no output at all

    user:/temp$rsync -Pur --delete /temp/ serverB::wwwroot/temp/

I list again the directory and the files are gone
