exclude an entire dir from syncing ?? (take two)

[zenn]

ok, I can't remember who posted the answer to my question, you know who you
are, many thanks...
the answer is, the exclude options are relative to the dir being sync'ed

rsync -avz ssh -e --exclude=videos /home/user/files/blah
user at remote.host.com:/home/user/files/

so the above will sync everything in "home/user/files/blah " except the
videos dir
