Copying files and dirs on remote server while excluding some of them
- by llaskin
Server 1 is connected to Server 2 via SSH.
We know this:
I can execute a command such as
" ssh server2 "cp -rv /var/www /tmp" "
which will copy the entire /var/www dir to /tmp. However inside of /var/www we have the following structure(sample LS output below)
$ ls
/web1
/web2
/web3
file1.php
file2.php
file3.php
How can I execute a cp command that will exclude /web1, /web3, file1.php and file3.php (obviously just copying web2 and file2 is not an option since there are significantly more files than just 6)
