rsync-cp

[highs...@yahoo.de]

same problem:

hello
I tried sth:



rsync -r checkold/*.txt checknew

Before I put some files to
checkold.

It did work.
cp -r checkold/*.txt checknew

Then I created

in a subdirectory
checkold/try/1.txt
checkold/try/2.txt
and so on.

I did again:
rrync -r checkold/*.txt checknew
and only the files from checkold
did walk to checknew.
But
the files in the subdir
checkold/try/
were not copied.

What do I do wrong?

Regards

Sophie
