Take the tour ×  I have a tree of subdirs, some of which contain
a file with the word "template" as part of the name. I want to
rsync them to the same subdir tree in a different location.  eg:
Source:   Intended destination:   This command didn't work; it
put all the files in the base destfolder, rather than in the
correct subdirectories:  rsync -av curfolder/*/*/*template*
destfolder  So I think I need a filter something like this, but
this isn't working (it seems to just sync everything):  rsync
-av -f"+ *template*" curfolder destfolder share|improve this
question Is there any particular reason why you do not accept my
answer? –  Niko S P Feb 26 '12 at 10:32 @NikoSP, thanks for your
answer. It did work, however a link to some documentation
explaining why it works would be the best possible answer, so if
you can add that to your answer I'll accept it immediately. –
