I've checked out the man pages and did some searching but can't find info on ways to have rsync skip files greater than a certain size. We're doing rsync to an offline location and when someone puts a hug video file, the rsync jobs run into work hours.

I've looked at the 'exclude' syntax and didn't see anything for excluding based on file size.

Can I do it with rsync or should I look for other offline synching alternatives?
