fooIf I want to copy files from local drive to portable drive, and if I want to remove on source as copying, I think I want rsync -av --remote-source-files source/ destination/ - correct?13:54
sdezielfoo: sounds right. When in doubt with rsync, you can always add `-vni` for verbose, dry-run and itemize-changes14:02
foo! Thanks14:02
ubottuYou're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)14:02
fooubottu: I wasn't thanking you, I was thanking sdeziel and his real humanness14:03
sdezielfoo: you are welcome :)14:05
foosdeziel: I think I actually want: --delete-after          receiver deletes after transfer, not before ... if I want to delete files after they're transferred on source (eg. trying to free up space on my source drive and move things to destination)15:18
sdezielfoo: I think --delete-after is meant to cleanup the destination to remove files that were not in the source to begin with. Maybe you just want to `mv` the stuff from your source to your destination?15:21
esvit is always good to test with a small sample of files that you don't care losing15:44
foosdeziel: yes, I'll look into move, thank you15:58
foosdeziel: oh, if you're referring to the mv command, my concern with that is if something happens during transfer a file getting corrupted midway which is why I like rsync. I can sync things and then clean up as needed. Maybe I underestimate mv and it's smarter than that16:02
