Rsync Can I delete .NFS and .fuse files
Hello,
I have some files in a local directory and perform an rsync command with the files in a remote directory, Now when I checked the files in the local and the remote directory, I found some strange filetypes such as this: .nfs0000000001d0c8e000002ff2 , .fuse_hidden000014da00000001 etc etc, also some files ending in a ~ like filename.m~ or filename~
What is the use of these files ?
It is safe to delete these files from both local and remote directory ?

Does this mean and only mean that it will delete files from the DESTINATION that DON'T EXIST on the sending side? :confused: (2 Replies)

Directories(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Directories(4)
NAME
Directories - Contains queued requests for file transfers and command executions on remote systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/SystemName
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/SystemName directories are the uucp program spooling directories on the local system. The uucp program creates a Sys-
temName directory for each system listed in the /usr/adm/uucp/Systems file, including the local system.
Each SystemName directory contains queued requests issued by local users for file transfers to remote systems and for command executions on
remote systems.
The uucp program uses several types of administrative files to transfer data between systems. These files are stored in the SystemName
directories. They are: Contain directions for the uucico daemon concerning file transfers. Contain data to be sent to remote systems by
the uucico daemon. Contain instructions for running commands on remote systems. Contain data files after their transfer to the remote
system until the uucp program can deliver them to their final destinations (usually the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory).
