In the manpage, there is a section entitled INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES that explains this (quoting): - if the pattern ends with a / then it will only match a directory, not a file, link, or device. So, the option you want is: --exclude=binary/ See the manpage for why you don't need the '*'s (unless "binary" is only a part of the filename, e.g. "binarydir" or "2nd-binary" would require the use of wildcards to block them all with one exclude): http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html ..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
