Re: cp and exclude?

[Bill Shirley <bshirley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

rsync has a --exclude operand (which handles globs):
rsync -axAXv --delete -e "ssh -p 20026" --exclude 'tmp.session/*' --exclude 'documents/*' /home/webmaster/public_html/server1.example.com/DocumentRoot/     rsync://server2.example.com/backup/
If you rsync'ing locally, you won't need the -e operand.

Hi All,

Is there a way to do a "cp -r" and have it
exclude certain directories?


Many thanks,
