I've tried all of the permutations of exclude I can think of, so presumably I have some fundamental misunderstanding. The goal here is to exclude the file tv11.html in the ftp directory.
rsync -avvvv -n --verbose --one-file-system -exclude='ftp/tv1.html' /usr/local/src /Media/sata/usr/local > /tmp/rsync (Server) Protocol versions: remote=30, negotiated=30 cmd=xclude=ftp/tv1.html machine=<NULL> user=<NULL> path=/Media/sata/usr/local [sender] make_file(src/ftp/tv1.html,*,2) [sender] i=1046 /usr/local src/ftp/tv1.html mode=0100644 len=130204 uid=1000 gid=1000 flags=0 [generator] i=1046 3 src/ftp/tv1.html mode=0100644 len=130204 uid=1000 gid=1000 flags=0 recv_generator(src/ftp/tv1.html,1046) send_files(1046, /usr/local/src/ftp/tv1.html) src/ftp/tv1.html recv_files(src/ftp/tv1.html) file /usr/local/src/ftp/tv1.html /usr/local/src/ftp/tv1.html: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines One additional piece of data. If I attempt to exclude "*swp"after the ftp exclude, that fails as well. Before the exclude of ftp, it works as intended. BTW, this is the smallest command that reproduces the problem. What I _really_ want to do is to exclude ftp/tv* -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
