Yes, and I noticed a couple other mistakes too: > "Chao,Eisen R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@lists.samba.org on 10/18/2001 05:52:29 PM > > Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > cc: (bcc: Tim Conway/LMT/SC/PHILIPS) > Subject: Re: Exclude > Classification: > > > > Hi Folks, > > I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6). > > 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) -e takes a parameter of a command like rsh which I don't see above. Since you got as far as you did, I'm assuming you must have not copied your command line accurately into your email. > rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude > (server) Oh, if you intended to connect to a daemon you should have used the double colon syntax in the command line above. If you're connecting to a daemon, a "-e <command_name>" is ignored. I suspect you don't want to use the daemon mode at all, and just let your rsync client launch the rsync on the remote side via rsh. Then a "--exclude /archivelogs/" on the client side command line should do what you want. - Dave Dykstra > > > What I get is *everything* including the contents of the dir ./archivelogs. > What is the proper syntax ?
