Patch to clearify the usage of shell patterns and rsync exclude/include patterns

Hi together, I'd like to propose the attached patch for the man page clarifying the difference between shell patterns and rsync patterns as it is not clear in at least of the examples (the user might think that `rsync remote.host:*.c /local/target/` is possible. A HACKING file has been added to pro

rsync exclude files based on filesize

Is there a way to set rsync excludes by filesize? I already do excludes by a wild card on the name but I needed something a bit more sophisticated this time around. I have files with the extension .nc (netcdf files) which tend to be huge before the users post-process them. I want all files with a

Re: rsync "exclude-from"

Because your source is "mail/", you need to remove the mail/ from your exclude patterns. If you used "mail" without the trailing slash then you'd need it. rsync -vv should help you debug exclude patterns. - Dave Dykstra On Sat, Apr 20, 2002 at 11:18:18AM -0400, Nikolaus Hiebaum wrote: > Hi - >
