Adding an excluded publish path

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

The following example will prevent WebPublish from publishing the file website.project when WebPublish is publishing the personal account.

webpublish --add -F publish -a personal -P
/home/mydir/mysite/website.project

The excluded file or directory path must be a full path. Also, 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 publish the website must have a record for the excluded path in the publish database file.

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