You posted two links which almost do that in #5 above. Please say what is wrong with the second link, I mean in addition to it parsing of ls output. |
Yep; if the OP bothered to put in the search term I gave them, and read the resulting first link, it would have given them this:
Code:
for x in $(ls -1 home/me/local/folder/*)
do
eachsize=$(stat -c "%s")
rsync -avz --progress --max-size=${eachsize} remote:/home/you/folder/${x} .
done
...which does EXACTLY what they're after. Pretty clear the OP put no effort into finding/modifying/writing their own solution.
