erdgeist, you are a real find-ling, this is indeed the solution for the find variant, you just have to specify the source (even with --files-from, with this option the -R is not needed anymore):

find ./* -print0 -user maha -mtime -300 -type f | \
rsync -avuR –-files-from=- –-from0 . maha@sputnik:

but the zshell solution looks more elegant to me.

Hi Maha,

just combine the two commands this way:

rsync -avuR ^[.]*/*(mM-10.u:maha:) ^[.]*(mM-10.u:maha:) maha@sputnik:

Most shell commands are capable of handling multiple (source) parameters. This is important, because wildcards are expanded by the shell.

Dear Maha,

maybe the command line

find ./* -print0 -user maha -mtime -300 -type f | \
rsync -avuR –files-from=- –from0 maha@sputnik:

is what your are looking for.
