Hi Martin, Many thanks for testing it out! Sorry I wasn't clear.
Since I'm rsyncing the directory tree, the hidden directories like ".abc" also get transferred, how am I able to exclude hidden directories to be transferred? Hopefully this will also exclude those matched files under hidden directories to be transferred... I tried various combinations to exclude hidden directories, however not much luck...
