Hello All,
I'm probably too stupid to live, but need help none the less.
Scenario:
A Redhat 9 workstation sending files to >>> freebsd4.8 server running rsync
daemon.
both are 2.5.6
Test: Send 500 Meg file "test.avi" with date Jan 01, 2001 across like this:
(from redhat box)
#rsync test.avi server::temp/test
the file gets sent across, just fine, but now on the server, the file date is current
time/date. This, I expect. (-a would preserve the date) I then run from the
redhat box, the exact same command
#rsync test.avi server::temp/test
Now the unexpected (for me anyway) happens: entire file is sent across. Is this
normal?
Thanks,
e
