Hi
My directory structure is something like following:
List of files in /abc/dir/
20020811
20020812
20020814
20020815
(where directory name above is the date, and daily changes i.e.
directories are added and deleted)
list of files in /abc/dir/20020811
toid
toil
etd
dt
(all the date directories contain the directories as above and there are
many subdirectories in the aboce directories)
I want to rsync all the dates directories but only the "toid"
subdirectory.
MY QUESTION IS: How can i rsync only the selected subdirectories?
Please help in this matter...
Thanks
Nitin
for i in `ls .` do; rsync -e ssh ./$i/toid user@host:dir; done I had some problems with using --include and --exclude to skip different directories and include others when I had a huge number of subdirectories. It always seems like the rsync actually searches trough those exluded directories just to exclude them in stead of denying them from the beginning.

If the "/dest/" dir begins with "/abc/dir", that part will be skipped. If you don't like the extra subdirs, use an include file like this: + /*/toid - /*/* and a command like this: rsync -avR --include-from=above-file /abc/dir/ host:/dest/ This includes everything in the base dir (by default), and only the toid dirs in the one-level-deep subdirs. All other files are unaffected. So, if the date dirs aren't the only thing in the base dir, you'll need a more complicated include file, like this: + /[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9] - /* + /*/toid - /*/* ..wayne..
