Lookup the --exclude option for rsync. I really do not understand what you want to do, but that might help you figure out for yourself.

Rsync's documentation states that plural directories can be specified on its command line, so you should be able to do the following for this example: app1/src app1/obj app1/xml rsync app1/src app1/obj app1/xml user@machine:/other-location/app1/ and it should just sync the "src/obj/xml" subdirs.

Look at the "FILTER RULES" section of the rsync man page. It says: "...rsync checks each name to be transferred against the list of include/ exclude patterns in turn, and the first matching pattern is acted on..." IOW, by putting "exclude everything" as the first rule, rsync has nothing to do. Specify the directories/files you want to transfer, THEN "exclude everything" will exclude whatever has not been matched.
