"rsync" doesn't seem to synchronize create empty directories on the target_dir
( I have empty dir under "from_dir" directory ) , so why rsync not copy the the empty dir from "from_dir" to "target_dir" ?



rsync -WavH –progress /from_dir 176.23.4.1:/target_dir

  • Is the 'empty_dir' readable by the user running rsync?
