Why does rsync keep skipping the directory I want to sync? [closed]
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I want to sync a directory between my Mac High Sierra machine and a CentOs 7 machine, excluding a certain file. I have tried the below
(venv) localhost:dental davea$ rsync -e 'ssh -p 7822' --exclude='dental/wsgi.py' ~/Documents/workspace/dental/ laredotornado@remotedomen.com:/home/laredotornado
skipping directory /Users/davea/Documents/workspace/dental/.
I don't quite understand why it is always skipping the file I want to sync with. I have verified both the local and remote driectories exist but don't know where else to check as to why things are falling down.

Are you expecting it to do a recursive sync? Did you forget--archive
or-a
?

Are you running this from thedental
directory? If you just want to exclude that file and you are already in thedental
directory then you can specify the file itself with--exclude 'wsgi.py'
as the path is already relative as far asrsync
is concerned.

@Kusalananda, that was it! Including "-a" moves stuff along.

@Atul I'm treating it as a typo. You may want to write a proper answer, explaining what's going on and how adding-a
solves it, if you wish.

The rsync command didnt include the /Users/davea/Documents/workspace/dental/
directory as the -a
was not used. Adding -a
flag also includes the -r
(recursive) flag in the operation thus allowing the directory to be part of the process.
