rsync filtering
- by biomed
I use an rsync command to sync two directories remote local
the command is (used in python script)
os.system('rsync --verbose --progress --stats --recursive\
--copy-links --times --include="*/" --include="*good_name*.good_ext*"\
--exclude-from "/myhome/mydir/src/rsync.exclude"\
%s %s'%(remotepath,localpath))
I want to exclude certain directories that has the same files that I also want to include.
I want to include recursively
any_dir_name/any_file_name.good
but I want to exclude any and all files that are in
bad_dir_name/
I used exclude-from and here is my exclude from file
*
/*.bad_dir_name/
Unfortunately it doesn't work. I suspect it may have something to do with --include="*/" but if I remove it the command doesn't sync any files at all.
Thanks for the help.
