rsync Q
Posted by Captain Dondo on August 13th, 2003


I have a browser-based video player that I use for my home entertainment
center. Basically, it's a galeon + mplayer setup that I update via rsync
from a master server.

The updates take quite a while - I'm pushing gigabyte-sized files via a
wireless network.

The problem is that rsync first does the deletes, then does the uploads.
What I really would like is something that first does the transfer,
storing the file in a temp location, then, when the file transfer is
complete, it deletes the old file and immediately moves the new file into
its place.

Any ideas?
