It looks like if I wanted to exclude "folder3" and all its sub folders, the run line would look like:
/home/ftp/mysite/folder3
cd /home/ftp tar -czvf mysite.tar.gz mysite --exclude='file3' --exclude='folder3'
Would it also work with : tar -czvf mysite.tar.gz /home/ftp/mysite --exclude='file3' -- exclude='folder3'
Use absolute or relative paths carefully. The path in --exclude should match how the files are being added to the archive. For example, if you're running the command from /home/ftp/mysite, you might need to use relative paths like --exclude='./folder3'
