Since you failed to provide the command-line you're using, I can't tell you exactly why your command failed. For instance, if you use a trailing slash on the sending-side directory you'd specify the exclusions differently than if the slash was not there. It's fairly easy to figure out for yourself what your inclusion & exclusion lists should look like by first running the command with the -n option (which tells rsync not to actually copy any files). The names that rsync outputs are the names you need to match (just add a slash to the start of the name). Once you get familiar with rsync you'll be able to predict what these names will be, but until then, using -n lets you ask rsync for the answer. As a rule, all names specified before a slash in the sending filename are eliminated from the name when matched against the include/exclude names. It is also sometimes useful to add an extra -v option to the command to see what is getting included or excluded. Another thing I recommend is that you use a "root slash" with names that don't need to float to any level. For instance, if you just specify "foo" as an exclusion, it will exclude that directory OR file at any point in the tree. Specifying "/foo" (or "/sub/foo") is thus safer since it protects against unintended matching. I also prefer a single combined include/exclude file since it is easier to edit and lets you order the inclusions and exclusions (remember that the first matching pattern is the one that is acted upon, so sometimes order does matter). In a combined file, items that begin with "+ " are always taken to be exclusions, and items that being with "- " are always taken to be exclusions. You can leave off the "+ " in an include file (and the "- " in an excluded file), but I included both for completeness. So, with a file named "myinc" that has these 3 lines in it: + /clock_speed + /fub_layout - /* using this command: rsync -avz --include-from=myinc /stor/circuit_design/ mickey.willowglen.com:/stor/circuit_design does not work for you, then I am misunderstanding something about your setup. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Re: --include option
Hi Leaw
Follow the following steps
1) Make the file "includelist" and "excludelist" in any directory for example
in: /rs/
2) Make entries of all the Directories as follows in "includelist" (the files to
be included)
clock_speed
dir1
dir4
dir5
3) Make entries of all the Directories as follows in "excludelist" (the files to
be excluded)
dir2
dir3
dir6
I tried * in this case.. but this excludes all.. because include and exclude
works in conjunction.
4) give the command as: "rsync -avz --progress --include-from=/rs/includelist
--exclude-from=/rs/excludelist ... rest command follows..
please let me know the result after running this way...

RE: --include option
Hi Nitin,
How should I include the patterns to be included for the
--include-from=include_list? I've tried the method suggested from Wayne, but
could not work.
I've also tried having the --exclude-from=exclude-list in use together with
the --include-from=include_list, but seems to me that the
--exclude-from=exclude_list is doing the trick in excluding those dirs/files
and hence transferring the remaining files over. This seems true when I
excluded the --exclude-from=exclude-list option, and only have the
--include-from=include_list specified, it ended up transferring the entire
files across.
I tried having the following for the file to be specified in the
--include-from option:
> + /*/clock_speed
> + /*/fub_layout
> - /*
>
> AND
> + circuit_design/clock_speed

AND

Could you please help me out?

Rather u can make two files, name the first one as includelist and second one as
exclude list.
Make entries of all the files u want to include in rsync in file "includelist" and
entries of files to be excluded in "excludelist".
then give the command:

This will work well..

RE: --include option
Hi Wayne,
I tried your suggestion, but did not work. It still copied the entire
filesystem across to the destination machine.
I tried having the following:
+ /*/clock_speed
+ /*/fub_layout
- /*
AND
+ circuit_design/clock_speed
+ circuit_design/fub_layout
- /*
AND
+ /stor/circuit_design/clock_speed
+ /stor/circuit_design/fub_layout
- /*
Could you explain to me the idea of having the +, -, and /* ? Do the number
of /* indicate the subdirectory levels before arriving at the directory to
include?
The other alternative you suggested below works well:
rsync -avz /stor/circuit_design/{clock_speed,fub_layout}
mickey.willowglen.com:/stor/circuit_design/
But I would like to have these include list into a file, as I'd be having
many other sub-directories to include, yet exclude.
Appreciate it if you could help me out.
Thanks.

The problem with your command is that it contains include directives but
no exclusions, so nothing limits the default operation of sending the
entire subdirectory contents. An easier way to go for this specific
problem is to ignore includes and specify two source dirs, like this:
rsync -avz /stor/circuit_design/{clock_speed,fub_layout}
mickey.willowglen.com:/stor/circuit_design/
The above assumes your shell has {} expansion, like bash and zsh. If it
does not, just mention both directories separately (without any trailing
slash). The trailing slash on the destination isn't required, but it
doesn't hurt either, so I left it in.
To make things work with your include-using command, you'd need to use
something like this in your include file:
+ /clock_speed
+ /fub_layout
- /*
This allows the two directories you want, and excludes everything else
in the base directory of the transfer. Since none of the rules apply to
files deeper than the base dir, none of them will be excluded.

--include option
HI, I'm trying to have files to be included during rsync. I have the filesystem /stor/circuit_design/, with the following subdirectories as its contents: clock_speed fub_layout test_simulations pattern_flow I would only like to rsync the following 2 subdirectories to the destination machine: clock_speed fub_layout and they're contained in the file called files_included: # cat files_included clock_speed fub_layout Hence, I invoked rsync as below: # rsync -avz --include-from=files_included /stor/circuit_design/ mickey.willowglen.com:/stor/circuit_design/ However, after rsync is invoked, the other sub-directories i.e test_simulations and pattern_flow were also included in the destination filesystem. I've tried with the following pattern combinations in the file files_included: *clock_speed* *fub_layout* AND /clock_speed /fub_layout AND /stor/circuit_design/clock_speed /stor/circuit_design/fub_layout AND FINALLY circuit_design/clock_speed circuit_design/fub_layout All other 4 methods did not produced the desired result. Could someone tell me what is the proper way in including the patterns for the --include-from option? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
