rsync - Oct 2010 - include-from or files-from

Hello List,

i have got a large File-List which looks like this:

...snip...
165/165950*.jpg
166/166072*.jpg
...snap....

Now i would like to transfer only those file from that list. The rsync command:

 rsync -avz -F --files-from=/tmp/synclist-small.txt /mnt/ /data/

does not seem to work due to that wildcard.

The command:
  rsync -avz -F --include-from=/tmp/synclist-small.txt /mnt/ /data/
syncs every files, not just the ones from my list.

If i change my file list to:
...snip...
+ 165/165950*
+ 166/166072*
- *
...snap...

then everything gets excluded.


Could someone give me a hint here??

Thanks,
Mario

This is a common use case.  Read the man page section titled
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES and find the part that reads

              + /some/
              + /some/path/
              + /some/path/this-file-is-found
              + /file-also-included
              - *

It should help you understand how to set up the filter rules you need.

The docs discuss a couple of other ways to solve this problem.

Regards,

Steven

Hello,

it seems it does not transfer my files recursively:

My Files and Folders:

mario at mario-laptop:~/foo2$ find .
.
./include.txt
./file-also-included
./path
./path/this-file-is-found
./some

My rsync command: rsync -avnz --recursive --include-from="include.txt"
* bar

cat include.txt
+ /some/
+ /some/path/
+ /some/path/this-file-is-found
+ /file-also-included
- *


rsync -avnz --recursive --include-from="include.txt" * bar
sending incremental file list
created directory bar
file-also-included
some/

sent 89 bytes  received 19 bytes  216.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)


Why does it not transfer the files recursively?

Cheers,
Mario

Because your exclude (- *) is not anchored, so it matches the deeper files.
 You can either anchor it (- /*) or specify your prior includes with
"**" or
"***" components.  e.g. "+ /path/***" would include both
path (+ /path/) and
its contents (+ /path/**).
