Why not exclude 2_ASSETS from the first run, and then do a second run to rsync the _contents_ of 2_ASSETS to the target 01_us_eng directory? Add /01_us_eng/2_ASSETS/ to the exclude.txt file. rsync -rvz --exclude-from=exclude.txt source destination rsync -rvz source/01_us_eng/2_ASSETS/ destination/01_us_eng/ (perhaps add some variation of the exclude.txt file if you're excluding stuff under the 2_ASSETS directory) > My humble question to samba.org is this, can I add an rsync command to move > folders 3 and 4 into 01... and delete the 2_ASSETS folder so I dont have to > manually do this 200 times each day?
