using rsync to send every index* file from one server to another? please help. thanks!!!!!

I have two servers. On the second server I wish to update only the
thousands of index.php and index.html files via rsync from the first
server.

I don't want to rsync any other files over--only files with "index" in
their name.

How can I do this using rsync with --include and --exclude?

This doesn't work:

rsync -avz "-e ssh" --include=index --exclude=* /usr/w/var/www
(E-Mail Removed):/usr/w/var

Thanks!

Perhaps you need to use --include='index*'. You might also want to play
with the order of the --include and --exclude arguments.

Another thing I noticed: you're using SSH logging in as root on the remote
system. Why on earth do you accept root login via SSH?
