Well, you can use the nonURL syntax.
Like:
rsync -avHn ftp.wtfo.com::rh70 .
| Of those listed I want `SRPMS' `updates' and `powertools'
and use include/exclude as normal. Eg:
rsync -avHn --include=/SRPMS --include=/updates --include=/powertools \
--exclude='/*' \
ftp.wtfo.com::rh70 .
Just drop the "n" when you have the selections right. Or put
+ /SRPMS
+ /updates
+ /opwertools
- /*
in a file and say
rsync -avHn --include-from=the-file-above ftp.wtfo.com::rh70 .
I do this for several subtrees with rsmirror:
Script: http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/rsmirror
Manual: http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/man/rsmirror.1.html
Freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/rsmirror/?highlight=rsmirror
Doubtless there are plenty of other wrappers out there.
