I have some issues with excluding files... I'd like to exclude hidden directories from my home share like .cache directory. How can i do this. /home/user/.cache cannot be entered into the web interfache.
From my experience with the web interface is that it can be tricky. In most cases excluded directories should en with a slash, /home/user/.cache/. Does Frontview accept dots "."? You could try to escape the character with /home/user/\.cache/.
"/home/user/\.cache/" is not accepted by te web interface... Any idea if I can enter this directly?
Have you tried without the first slash (slightly different meaning but shouldn't make any difference in this case)? Like "home/user/\.cache/". I actually think rsync should handle dots fine, "home/user/.cache/". Be aware that it's case sensitive!
