In the following situations, both the source machine and the destination machine are running 7.7.
Using openrsync, when my source is local and the destination is remote, the --exclude argument works exactly as I would expect. With the following construction, nothing that has changed in "subdirectory" on the source gets updated on the destination, which is what I expect. openrsync -av --rsync-path=openrsync --exclude subdirectory/ /path/to/source/ remote:/path/to/destination/ By contrast, when I use a similar construction, but where the source is remote and the destination is local, changes in the remote subdirectory ARE updated on the local destination. The --exclude argument does not seem to be excluding. openrsync -av --rsync-path=openrsync --exclude subdirectory/ remote:/path/to/source/ /path/to/destination/ I am trying to figure out what I am missing here, and how I can exclude subdirectories when using openrsync to update from a remote source to a local destination.
