Running bash. But here is a test for that. What you see is what you get. echo rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/ . rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/ . Try running a basic shell, such as /bin/sh and see if that makes a difference. Nope. You can also use the -vv option to display the command that rsync is sending to the remote daemon to see if the trailing slash is still there or not (2.6.4 mentions the command where earlier rsync versions did not). I'm doubtful that this is caused by rsync. Is two v's different than four v's? I gave it four v's to see the protocol that was negotiated. Command to access the server: rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/ . opening connection using --server --sender -logDtpr I thought that was that information. Isn't it? One potential work-around: try adding a trailing dot after the slash: $ rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/. . Good thought. I already tried that. No difference. I also tried all of the combinations of . ./ ./. in both source and destination. I am sure the problem is on the server side of the process. Its's a strange problem...

filename paths different in server mode
For some reason rsync-2.6.4 compiled by me on HP-UX 11.23 in 64-bit mode is adding extra path elements when running in server mode. This is a new problem. It did not used to do that with older versions and it does not do that with compilations on other systems. $ rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/ . $ ls bin Where did that extra directory come from? Testing with a different machine works as expected. $ rsync -a wookie::cadroot/release/bin/ . $ ls set_env ...more contents of bin not shown... In the bad case I am getting an extra directory in the path. I don't get this in other configurations. How can I debug this? I am only seeing this problem on HP-UX. And of course that is the platform I am trying to use. Any hints on how to debug why this server mode is adding an extra directory in the path? Here is my configuration. The machine ewok is an HP-UX machine. I set up an rsync server running there using this configuration: uid = nobody gid = nogroup [cadroot] path = /mnt/tools comment = CADROOT Command to access the server: rsync -a ewok::cadroot/release/bin/ . opening tcp connection to ewok port 873 opening connection using --server --sender -logDtpr . cadroot/release/bin/ (Client) Protocol versions: remote=29, negotiated=29 receiving file list ... recv_file_name(bin) recv_file_name(bin/set_env) ... lots of lines of files ... The path that gets created is then ./bin/* and not ./*. There is an extra ./bin/ in the path. That's not good. But if I set up a different machine, in this case a Debian Gnu/Linux amd64 running the Debian sid 64-bit 2.6.4 I get this result. rsync -a wookie::cadroot/release/bin/ . opening tcp connection to wookie port 873 opening connection using --server --sender -logDtpr . cadroot/release/bin/ (Client) Protocol versions: remote=29, negotiated=29 receiving file list ... recv_file_name(.) recv_file_name(set_env) ... lots of lines of files ... That is fine. The files are mapped to the right location and everything works as I expect. As can be seen in the debug output there is no extra 'bin' directory element. If I use 'ssh' and remote shell over to the broken machine then things work as expected. $ rsync -a -e ssh ewok:/mnt/tools/cadroot/release/bin/ . $ ls set_env ...more contents of bin not shown... I configured using the native HP ANSI C compiler like this: ./configure CC=cc CFLAGS='-Ae +DD64' make If I take that same code base and compile it on my Debian GNU/Linux system I get a working result without the extra 'bin' directory. So this must have some factor of outside influence that is causing this difference in server side behavior.

Re: include/exclude patterns to copy just certain files?
Wayne Davison wrote: Bob Proulx wrote: rsync -a --include '*/' --include '**/a1/foo' --exclude * . example.com:/tmp/ Yes, that is the way to use include/exclude without first figuring out where all the foo files are. As you noted that results in all directories in the tree being created. Darn. The easiest way around this is to switch from include/exclude to using the --files-from option, like this: find . -name foo | rsync -a --files-from=- . example.com:/tmp/ Yes! That is exactly what I want. I see that it is a new option. I had not noticed its arrival. In fact I needed to upgrade to get it. I really think that is a good design direction. Keep all of the file finding tasks in 'find' and use it to drive rsync. A nice modular approach that follows the traditional UNIX philosophy. I like it! As an enhancement I would really like it even more if the --from0 option could be combined with --files-from to be --files-from0. It is more compact and has a similar style to find's --print0 option. Although I will probably use -av0 with this more often than anything else so this is not a big deal. Thank you for pointing me to that option. It works great.

include/exclude patterns to copy just certain files?
I am attempting to copy only certain files down a directory tree. I know which files I want. I could generate a file of just those with 'find'. But having read the docs I have been trying to use the --include and --exclude patterns to have rsync pick the right files itself. But I can't figure it out. I am suspecting that I can't do what I want to do. Source example, this is what I have, foos and bars are files: dir1/a1/foo dir1/a2/foo dir1/a3/bar dir1/bar dir2/a1/foo dir2/a2/foo dir2/a3/bar dir2/bar Destination example, this is what I want, just the foos: dir1/a1/foo dir2/a1/foo Here is how I am trying to do it. rsync -a --include '**/a1/foo' --exclude * . example.com:/tmp/ But that does not match any files. 0 files to consider is the result. The man page has an example with --include */. rsync -a --include '*/' --include '**/a1/foo' --exclude * . example.com:/tmp/ That does too much and creates all of the directories even if there is no file foo in the directory. That is, in my example above all of the */a2 directories are also copied. Can anyone think of a way to do this? The actual source directories are relatively large with 20k total files or so in a deep hiearchy tree. So expanding them on the command line is not good since it will frequently exceed ARG_MAX. Conceptually something like the following would work if the directory was not too big and I could also line up the destination to match the source. rsync -a $(find . -name foo -print) example.com:/tmp/ # bad example for file in $(find . -name foo -print); do # another bad example dirname=$(dirname $file) rsync -a $file example.com:$dirname/ # 20k times seconds per ssh... done That is just very, very slow. I can almost use fsh but just the same it would be much cleaner to do this entirely within rsync.
