I am baffled by rync filters, they seem to be specially designed to interact in the most confusing possible way with bash shell expressions. For example,
FILTERS="-f'- *.mov'"
gets expanded to '-f'''- *.mov''''
which yields Unknown filter rule: ‘- *.mov”
FILTERS="-f'- *.mov'"
gets expanded to '-f'''- *.mov''''
with the same result
etc
If you just type rsync ... -f'- *.mov' on the command line the filter works as intended.
Is there any sane way to pass a filter expression to rsync? Just looking to exclude all *mov files from the rsync.
