Why not:
$rsync -avzP -e ssh -n --exclude-from=somefile /path/to/your/source
ip:/path/to/remote
some file is:
+ *.conf
- *.*
path to source is your directory from where you wan to export - say /home
path to remote is target directory where home is to be compied - say /
Note: no ending "/"
This will do a dry run on the screen. Once you are satisfied with the
files you are getting remove -n from above and the job will be done.
man rsync for details.
Sorry this went away from what you were attempting.
