rsync using wildcard (*) character

[Steven Hartland]

the lines in the file specified to --files-from are actual file names and not patterns so if you want all files starting with xyz then you must specify them all.

  We are using rsync version 2.6.3 and do not intend to upgrade to the latest version. I am using the following command:- rsync -arv --files-from=./myfile /app/dd/gesb user at rrslx905:/var/log/hhsb I want to mention the file list in the "myfile" as follows:- ABCD/cdef/xyz* (Considering there are more than one files existing with names beginning with xyz) Once I try to transfer files using rsync using the command above, I get an error saying rsync: link_stat "ABCD/cdef/xyz*" failed: No such file or directory (2) Shouldnt it read all the files with names beginning with xyz and start transferring? Please help
