RE: [rsync] Using Protect filter on a merge rules file

[Carlo Cancellieri]

> Daemon filter rules only affect the daemon. So, if it is receiving 
files, it will not delete files that are protected, but the client never
 sees any of the filter/exclude/include rules that are daemon-specific. 

Thank you Wayne now my problem is clear. Man is a bit cryptic in this section 
(for me).

I already tried to use per directory filter but using --dry-run option 
(obviously) won't work... doing it in a test directory without the '-n' option 
all come's to work...

Thank you again,
C.C.

The standard for rsync is for the client side to share its rules with the 
server, and the daemon is never the client.
