--daemon doesn't take the ---exclude* options. Put "exclude from = /etc/rsync.exclude" in your rsyncd.conf.

I'd like to be able to exclude the following directory: /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs but retrieve /opt/IBMHTTPDLOG My setup is: rsync -av -p -e [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/ F:/opt/IBMHTTDLOG (client) rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude (server) What I get is *everything* including the contents of the dir ./archivelogs. What is the proper syntax ? I've tried setting up my entry in rsync.exclude as: '/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs' archivelogs/ 'archivelogs/' ./archivelogs ./archivelogs/ I've also tried setting the server-side rsync daemon as --exclude <blah-blah> to no avail. Thanks in advance, Eisen Chao CNA Insurance
