Hello raf, thank you for your advice. I try it this way now:
# get all files remote $SSH "cd /srv/$PROJECT/shared/uploads/; find -type f ! -path './tmp/*' ! -name '*pdf_before_qpdf'" > "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" # remove exclude entries comm -23 "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" "$EXCLUDE_FILE1" > "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" comm -23 "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" "$EXCLUDE_FILE2" > "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" comm -23 "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" "$EXCLUDE_FILE3" > "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" # unse --files-from without --delete rsync --files-from "$ALL_REMOTE_FILES" -aAXz [...] # now only delete files rsync -r --delete --existing --ignore-existing [...] This works! Thanks! And to all the other guys who works on rsync: Thanks for this nice tool!
