Rsync error 23: some files were not transferred

Hi,

How can I see which files were not transferred, is there an easy way to do this?

Kind regards

Usually there's a file upon completion that shows you which files weren't copied. There's an error message and a file in my experience.

Yes there is a file, but it's main.c, which is not very descriptive as in my experience, every program has a main.c in it. Is there a way I can specify a .txt file so that I can find it easily?

Maybe pipe the output to a file "> log.txt"

How did you issue the rsync command? What switches you used?
Just use it simple, e.g.

Quote:

rsync -rplog SOURCE DESTINATION

where SOURCE=your file/folder copied and DESTINATION=your target folder to where the source are copied to.
Try again, the copied files should be the same looking/names as the source.

Good luck. Hope that helps.

m.m.

Turn on the verbose option for rsync and it will tell you every file that's being copied, including any errors in the transfer.

Try Rsync -a v h s switches. Use v it prints a file in the directory.
