The following options concern replacing files on the target with the same name. | |||
* <code>--delete-before</code> Deletes files on the target before new replacement is copied over. (default) | |||
* <code>--delete-during</code> Deletes files on the target as replacement files with the same name are being copied over. | |||
* <code>--del</code> Alias for <code>--delete-during</code> | |||
* <code>--delete-delay</code> Marks files for deletion during transfer. Waits until the transfer is complete to delete files. | |||
* <code>--delete-after</code> Checks for files and deletes files after transfer after the transfer. | |||
The following option deletes files from the source directory. | |||
