copying links/files using rsync command
Hi
I am using rsync command to copy the likes like bwlow

rsync -vaR krish/harris/test data/charles

I am running this script in test1 folder but the krish/harssis /test is existed in test2 folder.
So when i run this command am getting the error like


rsync: link_stat "/home/test1/krish/harris/test " failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(702)

When you are in test1 and you say the source is in test2, how should rsync find it when you don't tell it where it is or are currently in the wrong directory?!

Try using absolute or relative paths but not paths that do not exist.
