rsync -a&otheroptions rsync://carroll.cac.psu.edu/openbsd/snapshots/i386 rsync://carroll.cac.psu.edu/openbsd/snapshots/ports.tar.gz /some/destination/ /some/destination will look liks snapshots but with only i386 and ports.tar.gz in it. You did know that you can specify multiple sources, right? Oh, you could also get it in two steps, for instance, if you wanted to put the contents of i386 up with ports.tar.gz If you insist on using include/excludes, it's a lot tougher. + /i386 + /ports.tar.gz - /* If you exclude '*', you'll also have to explicitely individually include every item under i386... probably not part of your plans.
