rsync delete source

## Delete source after successful transfer using rsync
# The syntax is:
rsync --remove-source-files -av /path/to/src/*.avi computerB:/path/to/dest

# Perform a trial run with no changes made using --dry-run option:
rsync --dry-run --remove-source-files -azv /path/to/files/*.avi IP_ADDR:~/files

# If you like output run the final command without --dry-run option:
rsync --remove-source-files -azv /path/to/files/*.avi IP_ADDR:~/files
