Hi all,
I've read the man page but still seem to be a bit confused:
Is it possible to specify include/exclude rules to transfer files, for
example of type *.c and *abc, and exclude everything else?
I am trying to avoid using --filter, since the list of patterns can be quite
long and can
You can still use --filter: --filter=: my-rsync-filter
will include the file my-rsync-filter in the list of rules (and
recursively at each directory level).
This is very powerful and allows you to modify the filters without
modifying the script which calls rsync.
Christophe.

I've been googling and searching the mailing list, and I think this is
a new issue.
I just tried copying a kernel source tree, using this command
rsync -avz linux-2.6.16.29/. yuzu:/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.29/
I also tried adding this option:
--include=.*
but in both cases, the .config file was

The exact equivalent to --filter-from=FILE is --filter=. FILE .
--filter=: FILE is similar but checks for a file by that name in
each subdirectory for patterns that should apply to that

Apologies - you can ignore this message. For some reason I thought the
.config file was there, but as you suggested, it was missing from this
particular source tree. On subseuqent tests, I found that the .config
file was copied over without problems.

Thanks for the insight!
Up and running now.

I am trying to use rsync to create a mirror of my Linux laptop (Ubuntu
Dapper amd-64) onto a USB drive hanging on a Windows 2000 desktop over
ethernet. The folder I want to rsync to is /laptop and the USB drive is
mounted at /media/smb using the following:
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=jcj
