Thanks to the always excellent help and advice from my plug friends, I've been able to use 'rsync' to copy files between my Linux boxes, and it has been a tremendous help. However, from studying the man page, I can't figure out what the syntax should be to exclude hidden files. When I use this: rsync -avH --progress /home/joe/ joe@192.168.0.73:/home/joe/ It copied all the hidden files and kind of messed up my laptop. How can I modify that command to exclude hidden files? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
