rsync - Jun 2003 - selective dirs only

Hi All,

Just to get the jist of things, trying to sort 5 diff rsyncs into the same
process:)    if I want to copy only say 2 dirs and everything under them
 when use include exclude, I have to define the dir first then the
dir/all ?    like :
rsync -azr host::/top_dir --include "pub/" --include "pub/*"
--include "ftp1/"
--include "ftp1/*" --exclude "*" /local/top_dir

TIA.

Only if you don't care about the contents of subdirectories.
If you wanted to get all files and subdirectories of pub
you would want --include=/pub/ --include=/pub/**

Reread the section on EXCLUDE PATTERNS and you will
understand the differences.  -vv will show what matches
which patterns.

Ahh ok, I thought the -r would take care of all files and dirs under it.
