Hi,

I have a problem using rsync in the following scenario: I have a music collection on my main Linux box at home, and I have plenty of disk space available at my Linux box at office. So I mounted my home directory of the office box with sshfs (I am in my office LAN through VPN) and copied my whole music collection to my office box over the weekend.

Now about 2 weeks have passed and I added files to my music collection at home and I want to have these files in the audio directory on my office box. But I can't remember which files I added since I made the initial copy. I thought rsync would be perfect for this job.

So I did this:
Code:

rsync -v audio/ remote/gort/audio/

gort is the name of the office box. I mounted my home directory on the office box to remote/gort/

But it doesn't look like rsync is updating the remote location. It's just copying every single file again. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong since 'man rsync' says, that the update behavior is default...
