From the manpage: * a trailing dir_name/*** will match both the directory (as if dir_name/ had been specified) and everything in the directory (as if dir_name/** had been specified).

List subdirectories only n level deep on the remote server when use the -a option of rsync.
Hi all, I want to list the contents on the remote rsync server only to n, say, 2 level deep. In my case the the server is rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org, and I want to list all of the stuff in the following subdirectory only to 2 level deep: rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian Any hints on this?

Thanks a lot, Paul. But I've tried the following methodes based on your suggestion and get different results: werner@debian:~$ rsync -a --exclude '/*/*/*/*' rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian | wc -l 1798 werner@debian:~$ rsync -a --exclude '/*/*/*/**' rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian | wc -l 1798 werner@debian:~$ rsync -a --exclude '/*/*/*/***' rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian | wc -l 1631 As you can see, the first two give same results, but the third, i.e., the one you gives, give a different result.
