Hi everyone

I need a command to select all files inside folder and subfolders created since the creation of a certain file xyz.txt .
Probably using the timestamp or something .

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Best regards

I have tryed this:

OK - find -newermt "$(date -r rsyncLast +%F%t%T)" /xxx/client/dossier /zzz

OK - find -newermt "$(date -r rsyncLast +%F%t%T)" /xxx > filesToSync.txt

NOK - rsync -raz --files-from=( find . -newermt “$(date -r rsyncLast +%F%t%T)” ) /home/ubuntu/xxx/ /home/ubuntu/zzz/

Here's the entire story.

I need to syncronize with rsync folders/files and subfodlers between two places and remove the originals without deleting them (eventually adding a suffix that rsync can exclude on the next sync).
And i need to sync since the creation of a specific file.

My idea was the following.

1 - Create timestampfile names "rsyncLast" .
2 - Use rsync to sync files between two locations (same machine or diferente machines) .
3 - Remove the files from original folder and exclude the files from the next rsync .

I might be way off on what you want, but right clicking a folder is the usual way.

Maybe try to right click into the folder and "sort by date modified".
And then you can choose all files from top down to the xyz.txt.

But I am not sure if this will do exactly what you want.

EDIT: I somehow didn't see that this suggested thread is in the Linux Forum. My suggestion was based on the assumption that this question is about Windows. Sorry to waste your time.

The commandline can usually do a more granular search than a GUI app. The link below can get you started.

If you prefer a GUI, take a look at 'catfish' or similar search app.

Ditto for me. My bad.

Appreciate you adding 'the entire story.' Haven't used sync in years and not for what you're doing, so not familiar enough to refine what you've posted.

I need to syncronize with rsync folders/files and subfodlers between two places and remove the originals without deleting them (eventually adding a suffix that rsync can exclude on the next sync).

Too many unknowns to know what to suggest. Eg: how many originals are there, 20 or 200? How far down are the directories which contain the originals, and do their directory levels vary? Do you edit the originals and/or create new originals (which changes the Creation and/or Last Modified date)?

Perhaps, as you were thinking, start with renaming all the originals with a find/mv cmd? Or maybe moving all the originals to their own subdirectory? Either will allow you to exclude, delete and/or sync by name or location instead of by various creation/modified dates.

Searching 'rsync exclude files by name' and/or 'rsync delete files by location' will provide some better answers than my previous post.

Good luck.
