Want to compare delta files recursively using rsync when I have file list in left in text file and Folder at right hand










0














I have a list of files mentioned at left hand side in a text file and I have a separate folder where I have list of physical files. I have to compare the left hand's FileList.txt with Right hand's Directory files(Recursively) and copy delta part using rsync. I am using the below command but not getting any files to copy.



Below is the dry run attempt .



rsync -rvnc --include-from=/cygdrive/c/Users/SG066221/Desktop/scripts/diff_Lib_WITH_EMPLTY.txt /cygdrive/c/Users/SG066221/Desktop/scripts/FROM_LIST_2_ANOTHER/ 1>C:UsersSG066221Desktopscriptsdiff_FINAL.txt



Output is :



sending incremental file list
drwx------ 0 2018/11/12 14:26:18 .



sent 38 bytes received 64 bytes 204.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 (DRY RUN)

          The correct syntax for rsync is:



          rsync <options> <include> <exclude> src/ dest/


          Your problems:



          • If you only list one directory, nothing will happen.

          • If you have includes without excludes then it'll include everything.

          • (You have dry-run set, but you probably knew that.)

          Try this:



          rsync -rvc --include-from=file.txt --exclude='*' src/ dest/


          Make sure that file.txt contains only the filenames within src/ (i.e. with "src/" stripped off). Make sure that any sub-directories you want files copied from are listed too, on their own line (alternatively, add --include='*/' before the exclude).



          What it says is, copy from src to dest, including files in file.txt, and excluding everything else.
