auto ssh, and the rsync

Swakoo · 08-18-2005, 02:10 AM

Hi guys, I would like to findout how should i go about allowing

1) auto ssh from server 1 into server 2

2) following that, was thinking of doing rsync or scp to move files over automatically using cron.. thus i believe i should do the auto ssh thingy first...

many thanks!

regarding rsync, i use --exlude-from "filename" to exclude certain files/folders with the stipulated folder. but what about if I only want to include a certain set of files and folders within that stipulated folder?

How do I restrict?

Update:

I understand it uses include-from now but am wondering how do I specify the exact file/folders i want to sync in a specified folder? don't wanan try it and risk moving huge chunk of files...

cuurently its

Quote:

rsync -rav --stats -e ssh --delete --timeout=70 /home/myweb/wwwroot/index.html 192.168.10.201:/home/myweb/wwwroot/

That's for one file

I want to move 2 files and a couple of sub-folders in /home/myweb/wwwroot to the other server with the same location

if i specify the include-from, will it just listen to what include-from says.. or i still have to manually have an --exclude-from?

been testing.. and now need to check with you guys

the difference between /* and /**

I read the man but catch no ball..

i am trying to rsync just a couple of folders and files... so in the --exclude-from file i specifed the '+' for those folders and files (since i ran it with -r) at the end of it, i just put both /* and /** under '-' with the intention of having the line ignoring EVERYTHING recursively in the folder except those mentioned in '+'

correct...?

So far so good.. but i cant understand the difference between the 2

When rsyncing with slackware site my exclude file includes the lines:

Code:

bootdisk/
pasture/
source/

This results in those specific directories being ignored. If you had or manually placed files in those specific directories and use --delete-after with rsync it will NOT delete your files in those directories.
The exclude file also includes:

Code:

netscape*

This results in any file name beginning with 'netscape' not being synced from ANY directory.
My include file contains:

Code:

bare.i

While the entire directory bootdisk was to be excluded this line overrides that and will copy the bare.i file (actually from any directory).

Never used /* and haven't man'd to see if /* is legit or what it means.
