Does anybody know if there is an rsync option, so that directories that are being traversed do not show on stdout.
I'm syncing music libraries, and the massive amount of directories make it very hard to see which file changes are actually happening. I'v already tried -v and -i, but both also show directories.

Exclude Files and Directories from a List. When you need to exclude a large number of different files and directories, you can use the rsync --exclude-from flag. To do so, create a text file with the name of the files and directories you want to exclude. Then, pass the name of the file to the --exlude-from option.
Copy a single file locally If you want to copy a file from one location to another within your system, you can do so by typing rsync followed by the source file name and the destination directory. Note: Instead of “/home/tin/file1. txt”, we can also type “file1” as we are currently working in the home directory.
Show rsync Progress During Data TransferAdd the --progress flag to the rsync command to view the amount of data transferred, transfer speed, and the remaining time.
Rsync is a very flexible network-enabled syncing tool. Due to its ubiquity on Linux and Unix-like systems and its popularity as a tool for system scripts, it's included on most Linux distributions by default.
If you're using --delete in your rsync command, the problem with calling grep -E -v '/$' is that it will omit the information lines like:
deleting folder1/ deleting folder2/ deleting folder3/folder4/ If you're making a backup and the remote folder has been completely wiped out for X reason, it will also wipe out your local folder because you don't see the deleting lines.
To omit the already existing folder but keep the deleting lines at the same time, you can use this expression :
rsync -av --delete remote_folder local_folder | grep -E '^deleting|[^/]$' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
