problem with mirror exclude

[Dan Morton]

I'm running lftp (4.4.4) under cygwin on my Windows 8 machine. I've created
an lftptest directory on my server with two subdirs, dir1 and dir2, with a
file in each. No matter what I try, I can't exclude "dir1" with an lftp
script that contains this exclude - I always get the directory and all of
the subdir content:



mirror -v --only-newer -x /public_html/lftptest/dir1/ /public_html/lftptest
local/lftptest



I tried substituting



-x public_html/lftptest/dir1/



And



-x /home/public_html/lftptest/dir1/



And



-x lftptest/dir1/



to no avail. (Oh, and -exclude in place of -x.)



Any ideas what is wrong?



Thanks

Dan

The include/exclude match starts inside the mirror path specified and does not match the full path.
So just use "-x dir1/" or, if you want to make sure you won't exclude a folder named eg. nadir1, then "-x ^dir1/"

mirror -v --only-newer -x /public_html/lftptest/dir1/ /public_html/lftptest local/lftptest
I tried substituting
-x public_html/lftptest/dir1/
And
-x /home/public_html/lftptest/dir1/
And
-x lftptest/dir1/
to no avail. (Oh, and –exclude in place of –x.)
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks
