rsync how to send folder contents but not folder itself

  • 772

Currently I have the following command which will send a folder and it's contents recursively:

rsync -avz --ignore-existing --recursive /var/-iles/_site [email protected]:/var/www

What I want is only the contents of folder _site to be sent to folder www , not the _site folder itself.

Is it possible to send only the contents of folder _site via rsync?

Thanks

    This can be done using shell globbing:

    rsync -avz --ignore-existing --recursive /var/-iles/_site/* [email protected]:/var/www/

    All the contents of the /var/-iles/_site/ directory will be copied to the destination.
