The following seems to be fine for me: $ cd $ rsync -vrtu --delete --exclude='/.*' . 192.168.0.2:/home/rodolfo , where `192.168.0.2' is the address of the destination computer. Hidden files from the top level directory are not tansferred, all the others are, which is what I want. Symlinks are better created by hand. I *highly* recommend anyone to first use the `--dry-run' option before actually run the command, as the --delete option is very dangerous!
