How to exclude file when using scp command recursively
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
I need to copy all the *.c files from local laptop named hostA to hostB including all directories. 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]
|
|
```
