For all who replied! Thanks for taking a few mins to read/reply. I had seen the -"-rsync-path" running the "mkdir" cmd being used for running the mkdir on the remote side. My case was definitely looking to copy files locally between a Source and Destination Dir. So, I was looking to implement the "cp -p" with rsync on a local VM. This was a curious test kind of thing to see if it could easily be accomplished. as opposed to simply running two separate cmds. mkdir -p /foo/cat/etc.. cp -vaR Source Target which is what I finally punted to doing! ps. The idea of using localhost was also looked at!
