I am using the following scp command but do not know how to exclude specific files (such as *.out): +``` +$ scp -r ~/projects/ user@hostB:/home/delta/projects/ +``` + +How do I tell scp command to exclude particular file or directory at the Linux/Unix command line? + +One can use scp command to securely copy files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data transfer and authentication purpose. Typical syntax is: + +``` +scp file1 user@host:/path/to/dest/ +scp -r /path/to/source/ user@host:/path/to/dest/ +``` + +## Scp exclude files + +I don't think so you can filter or exclude files when using scp command. However, there is a great workaround to exclude files and copy it securely using ssh. This page explains how to filter or excludes files when using scp to copy a directory recursively. + +## How to use rsync command to exclude files + +The syntax is: +`rsync av -e ssh --exclude='*.out' /path/to/source/ [[email protected]][1]:/path/to/dest/` +Where, + + 1. **-a** : Recurse into directories i.e. copy all files and subdirectories. Also, turn on archive mode and all other options (-rlptgoD) + 2. **-v** : Verbose output + 3. **-e ssh** : Use ssh for remote shell so everything gets encrypted + 4. **\--exclude='*.out'** : exclude files matching PATTERN e.g. *.out or *.c and so on. + + +### Example of rsync command + +In this example copy all file recursively from ~/virt/ directory but exclude all *.new files: +`$ rsync -av -e ssh --exclude='*.new' ~/virt/ [[email protected]][1]:/tmp` +Sample outputs: +[![Scp exclude files but using rsync exclude command][2]][2] + +Rsync command will fail if rsync not found on the remote server. In that case try the following scp command that uses [bash shell pattern matching][3] in the current directory (it won't work with the -r option): +`$ ls ` +Sample outputs: +``` +centos71.log centos71.qcow2 centos71.qcow2.new centos71.v2.qcow2.new meta-data user-data +``` + +centos71.log centos71.qcow2 centos71.qcow2.new centos71.v2.qcow2.new meta-data user-data + +Copy everything in the current directory except .new file(s): +``` +$ shopt -s extglob +$ scp !(.new)* [[email protected]][1]:/tmp/ +``` +Sample outputs: +``` +centos71.log 100 % 4262 1.3MB/s 00:00 +centos71.qcow2 100 % 836MB 32.7MB/s 00: 25 +meta-data 100 % 47 18.5KB/s 00:00 +user-data 100 % 1543 569.7KB/s 00:00 +``` + + +See the following man pages for more info: +``` +$ [man rsync][4] +$ man bash +$ [man scp][5] +``` + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/scp-exclude-files-when-using-command-recursively-on-unix-linux/ + +作者:[Vivek Gite][a] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]:https://www.cyberciti.biz +[1]:https://www.cyberciti.biz/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection +[2]:https://www.cyberciti.biz/media/new/faq/2017/12/scp-exclude-files-on-linux-unix-macos-bash-shell-command-line.jpg +[3]:https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pattern-Matching.html#Pattern-Matching +[4]:https://www.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync.html +[5]:https://man.openbsd.org/scp
