I'm sorry I took so long to reply. Your message got lost among others. It never occured to me before, but the answer is that those excluded patterns only apply to files sent from a daemon, not those sent to it. I'm afraid you'll have to specify the exclude patterns on the client side. I will change the rsyncd.conf man page.
Really the rsync daemon mode was primarily intended to send things like an http server does, and there's quite a number of subtle ways that it does not work well when on the receiving end. I usually try to discourage people from doing it. - Dave Dykstra On Fri, Apr 26, 2002 at 05:33:46PM -0400, Paul Slinski wrote: > Dave, > > Excludes worked fine from client to server.
