Your only choices are to tell rsync to include all directories (as Aaron suggested), or to switch over to using --files-from. No amount of include fiddling with work around that limitation (see the man page's description on how the directory traversal is recursive, and telling rsync to block a directory blocks rsync from ever even looking at any of the blocked dir's subdirs). Switching to --files-from could take the output of a find command and send it all in one go. E.g.: find . -name 'abc*' -type dir | rsync -av --files-from=- . host:/dest ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
