Ian, Thanks so much. That's perfect. I never need the --links switch so that fix will be do the trick. I feel safe making an alteration as innocuous as that. I will actually need the exclude too ultimately and will probably use your approach to have a seperate file for the additional paramter(s), but for now just getting things going with removal of the --links switch will do the trick. It does seem (given how it is all implemented) that adding a text box to FrontView to allow for the manual setting of switches in rsync would be a trivial enhancement for them to implement. Maybe we'll see it in the next release. Thanks again.
