How to disclude parent directory from copy/rsync

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux

Let's say I have a folder structure that looks like the following

  • Home
    --Test
    ---Working
    ----SubDirectory 1
    -----Test1
    -----Test2

If I'm performing a copy or rsync command how do I disclude the parent "Working" folder and the all subdirectories e.g. "SubDirectory 1"

My half made attempt rsync -av --include=*. --disclude

Thanks!

So what is it that you do want to copy in this scenario?

Only the files Test1, Test2. I think I figured it out because when you specify dir/ with the trailing slash it tells rsync to use the directories contents only.
