Wayne:
This is mentioned in the rsyncd.conf (especiallly in a more modern release). The purpose of these options for the daemon is to completely hide files so that they can't be downloaded from the server, and to
this exactly what i want:
prevent those files from uploaded to the server (in a modern rsync).
i downloaded, compiled and installed 2.6.3. ok
rsyncd.conf 5 says:
Because this exclude list is not passed to the client it only applies on the
server: that is, it excludes files received by a client when receiving from a
server and files deleted on a server when sending to a server, but it doesn't
exclude files from being deleted on a client when receiving from a server.
what i want is to get complete control over what can the client upload. i dont want to backup 5G of mp3 for each client, burn it!. neither want a smart client editing my rsync.bat and changing the filters.
tried two ways: 1) include = outlook.pst, exclude = *.pif *.iso *.mov *.mp3 *.wav *.exe *.dll *.pst *.com *.bat *.mpg
and
2)
exclude = +outlook.pst -*.pif -*.iso -*.mov -*.mp3 -*.wav -*.exe -*.dll -*.pst -*.com -*.bat -*.mpg
this way didnot work
the clients are 2.4.6 and 2.5.1 on windows. 2.5.1 doesnt pay attention to server excludes 2.4.6 does, but not to server includes (way 1)
another hint?
thank you
carlos
