Ignore Hidden Folders
Hello All,
I am doing backups of Linux directories with FTP. All of our Linux directories have a hidden .recycle folder. The backups work great but they are also backing up everything in the .recycle folder, which is ok..it won't hurt anything. However, if I can have it skip those, it will greatly improve the backup times.
TIA,
Dan

- Rsync has an option to exclude hidden directories not FTP. Rsync is a much better option than FTP for backups.
