Re: [S3tools-general] help with exclude and stuff

[Michal L. <ml...@lo...>]

Hi Simone,

--exclude expects the directory path *minus* your base directory, for
instance in your example excluding /home/user/Desktop/not_needed while
syncing /home/user/ is done with --exclude Desktop/not_needed

Run it with --verbose --dry-run to check how the exclusion rules are
applied before actually transferring any files. Let me know if you need
further help.
