Detail: /tmp being the "root of the transfer", "--include=/tmp" is wrong because it refers then to /tmp/tmp. I thing you can do what you want by using a risk filter rule instead of an include one. Try: rsync -avvvn --force --delete \ --filter='R /floof/***' --exclude='*' \ /tmp/. co4::root/tmp/. This should remove recursively co4::root/tmp/floof without browsing integrally /tmp nor co4::root/tmp. Francis -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
