Adding an excluded synch path

To exclude a file or directory from being synchronized by WebPublish, you must add a record to the synch database file. To add a new record to the synch database file, you must specify the file or directory path using the -path (-P) DATA option.

The following example will prevent WebPublish from synchronizing the directory cgi-bin when WebPublish is synchronizing the personal account.

webpublish --add -F synch -a personal -P cgi-bin

The excluded path is only valid for the specific account. When a website is published to more than one server, each account that is used to synchronize the website must have a record for the excluded path in the synch database file.

NOTE: The records in the synch database file cannot be changed. If you need to change a record in the synch database file, add a new record with the new information. Then you can remove the old record with the old information.
