Exclude

[Chao,Eisen R.]

Hi Folks,

I'm running rsync between an NT client and a Solaris 7 Server (Ver 2.4.6).

I'd like to be able to exclude the following directory:

	/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs

but retrieve

	/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG

My setup is:

	rsync -av -p -e rsync at server1.cna.com:/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/
F:/opt/IBMHTTDLOG
	(client)

	rsync --daemon --exclude-from=/etc/rsync.exclude
	(server)


What I get is *everything* including the contents of the dir ./archivelogs.
What is the proper syntax ? I've tried setting up my entry in rsync.exclude
as:

	'/opt/IBMHTTPDLOG/archivelogs'
	archivelogs/
	'archivelogs/'
	./archivelogs
	./archivelogs/

I've also tried setting the server-side rsync daemon as --exclude
<blah-blah> to no avail.

Thanks in advance,
