Mirror to remote except particular folder present on remote

[Nicolas Raoul]

Hello all,

I usually edit my website locally and push it with this command:

lftp -u user,password host -e "mirror -c -e -R -x ^\.git/$ my /my; exit"

But now, my website dynamically adds data to the /my/data/ folder.

I don't have this /my/data folder locally.

*QUESTION:* How to push without deleting/overwriting /my/data and its
content?

Notes:

- I could download /my/data and then run the command above, but data
added in the few seconds before the download and the upload would get lost.
- For the other files/folders, local deletion should be mirrored by a
remote deletion.
- I don't want to use --only-newer-like operations because clocks might
not be adjusted.

Thanks a lot!

Just exclude the folder using -x ^data/ option.

If you need to upload some local files into that folder, use two mirrors,
one without -e option just for my/data folder.
