One thing you can do to prevent a particular file from being transferred is to give rsync an absolute-path hide filter: --filter='hide,/ /some/absolute/path/file_to_exclude.html' The hide rule is made absolute by the '/' modifier, and that will prevent that particular file from ever being sent. If you also want to prevent that file from being deleted on the receiving side, change the "hide,/" prefix to "exclude,/" (aka "-/"). ..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
