Rsync synchronizes hidden and excluded files

Basic rsync command syntax

Rsync Command Option source directory target directory

If the source directory is/var/www/, all the files in the directory will be synchronized to the target directory. If it is/var/www /*, the hidden file in the current directory (the folder name or file name is ". but the hidden files in the subdirectories will still be synchronized.

If you want to exclude a file (or folder), you can use-Exclude. For example, to exclude the dir1 folder under the source directory, you can write it:

/Usr/bin/rsync-vzrtopg-exclude = dir1/var/www/src // var/www/dest

Multiple Entries can be excluded at the same time, for example:

/Usr/bin/rsync-vzrtopg-exclude = dir1-exclude = dir2/var/www/src // var/www/dest

In addition to the above method, you can also use-Exclude-from:

/Usr/bin/rsync-vzrtopg-exclude-from = exclude. list/var/www/src // var/www/dest

The exclude. list file specifies the list to be excluded, for example:

Dir1
[0-9] *
Dir2/. [a-z0-9] *
. Svn

It means to exclude all files and folders named by numbers in the/var/www/dir1,/var/www directory, hidden files under the/var/www/dir2/directory, and/ var/www directory all. svn folder, including. svn folder.

Note: Both exclude and exclude-from have two minus signs. If one is missing, the command line will not report an error, but the executed files or folders cannot be excluded.
