Re: RSync directory structure only

[Daniel . J . Botz]

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response Tim!!

I tried using the excludes you mentioned but it doesn't seem to work.
Every file still gets copied.

I also tried to have the remote machine execute a command to generate a
file list but this didn't seem to work either:

rsync -av server:`find /dir1/dir2 -type d` dest

Anybody have any other ideas?

Thanks!
Dan

Try this:

rsync -av --include '*/' --exclude '*' source-dir dest-dir
