rsync: "Skipping directory"

[PROBLEM]
Rsync says "Skipping directory" when I try to copy a folder tree.

Spoiler alert! It took me 15mins now to figure out that this is a no-brainer.
Therefore I will write it down to save others the same humiliation ;)

[SOLUTION]
I didn't tell rsync to do recursion.
Just add "-r" or "-a" as option to rsync and everything's fine.

May favorite set of arguments is:

Code: Select all

rsync -avP
