Hi, ... > rsync -av --exclude=/foo/test/dir1/ /foo/test serv2:/foo > and the exclude still does not work.
The following works: rsync -av --exclude=/test/dir1/ /foo/test serv2:/foo Why? Because one should think the exclude pathnames are *relative* ones to the destination directory. In your case, you want the /foo/test directory to be copied as serv2:/foo/test. Note that this is equivalent to: rsync -av --exclude=/dir1/ /foo/test/ serv2:/foo/test I admit that this is not quite obvious. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tel: (33) 04 92 38 79 11, Bur: C112 INRIA Sophia, 2004, rte des Lucioles, B.P.93 - 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
