Copying one directory tree to another but exclude all top-level files

[Brian J. Murrell]

Hi.

I want to do this:

# rsync -aSPAHX --exclude \* --link-dest=/.snapshots/daily.10/ ../daily.10/ .

so that any *files* in the /.snapshots/daily.10/ directory (but not any
directories in /.snapshots/daily.10/ and directories and files below
that) are excluded?

Using the above syntax, nothing gets copied I suppose because * matches
all of the top-level directories in /.snapshots/daily.10/ also.

Cheers,
b.
