Hi, >Are such entries supposed to cancel each other? How can one override an >earlier exclude in a filter list? You need to prepend the overrides to your list rather than appending them. In general, rules are processed top down and the first rule that applies stops subsequent rules from being evaluated. I recommend you review the "FILTER RULES" section of the man page. It says <snip> As the list of files/directories to transfer is built, rsync checks each name to be transferred against the list of include/exclude patterns in turn, and the first match- ing pattern is acted on: if it is an exclude pattern, then that file is skipped; if it is an include pattern then that filename is not skipped; if no matching pattern is found, then the filename is not skipped. </snip> Steven -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Steven Levine" <stev...@earthlink.net> eCS/Warp/DIY etc. www.scoug.com www.ecomstation.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
