I know this question has been asked alot but I still have issues with it.

I want to do the following with rsync.

Directory structure example

• home/netadmin/docker-data
• home/netadmin/docker-data/uptime-kuma/
• home/netadmin/docker-data/uptime-kuma/error.log

I want to rsync the docker-data directory but want to exclude the home/netadmin/docker-data/uptime-kuma/ directory but want to include home/netadmin/docker-data/uptime-kuma/error.log

I'm using the following command :

rsync -av --delete --include-from='/home/netadmin/include.txt' --exclude-from='/home/netadmin/exclude.txt' /home/netadmin/docker-data /home/netadmin/temp/

The directory is being excluded but the file is not copied.

My question is, is it posible?

This is how my include and exclude files looks like :

exclude.txt uptime-kuma/

include.txt

• error.log
