Rsync without creating hidden file in destination

Question

rsync creates a temporary hidden file during a transfer, but the file is renamed when the transfer is complete. I would like to rsync files without creating a hidden file.

Answer 1

alvits is correct, --inplace will fix this for you. I found this when I had issues syncing music to my phone (mounted on ubuntu with jmtpfs). I would get a string of errors renaming the temporary files to replace existing files.
