I apologize in advance for asking a beginner question, but I really could not figure this from the manual page.
I want to copy some files with rsync, and not copy others. The stuff that I do not want to copy looks like this: System Volume Information/_restore*/RP* WINDOWS/Prefetch/* Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/*/Installer/chrome.7z Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/* Note that there are spaces in these names. Note that there are wildcards in the middle of the name. Note that I'm looking to transfer/create an empty directory in some cases. So, just a quickie: how? My current command line for rsync looks like this: rsync -A -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super --log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/ "rsync@kleiman-ibook:/Volumes/Windows\ rsync\rsync" and if there's a good way to shorten that, I'd love to know. Incidentally, I get a LOT of error messages: Kleiman-ibook:Windows TM michael$ head -5 /tmp/rlog.txt 2011/12/17 19:34:37 [10315] receiving file list 2011/12/17 19:34:39 [10315] rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_delete_def_file(Documents and Settings): Attribute not found (93) 2011/12/17 19:34:39 [10315] rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_delete_def_file(Documents and Settings/Administrator.LEILA-DELL): Attribute not found (93) 2011/12/17 19:34:39 [10315] rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_delete_def_file(Documents and Settings/Administrator.LEILA-DELL/Application Data): Attribute not found (93) 2011/12/17 19:34:39 [10315] rsync: set_acl: sys_acl_delete_def_file(Documents and Settings/Administrator.LEILA-DELL/Application Data/Identities): Attribute not found (93) This continues for a very long time :-). -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
