Hi,

>>>>>>>>>>>
What part of the '--exclude=[PATTERN]' part of the man page is giving
you trouble? Is something not matching correctly, overmatching too much
or...?
>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't understand how to write it. I have rsync 2.5.7

These don't work:
rsync -av --delete '--exclude=[cache]'  -e ssh
rsync -av --delete '--exclude=cache'  -e ssh
rsync -av --delete --exclude='cache' -e ssh
In fact nothing with the = sign works.

Could you please give an example of the code in you want to remove these
folders listed as:
root
	cache
	download

	shop
		cache
		download

Also, even with the --delete option in there the front page extension
folders like _private, etc. will not be deleted and these folders are not on
the site on the sending server.  As I understand it --delete is suppose to
delete the files on the receiving server if the same files are not on the
sending server but it does not for the front page extension folders.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Melinda Odom
