Is there a way to exclude a directory when creating a tar ball?
Let me Google that for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=tar+how+to+exclude+directory.

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'
Does this all look right to you?
I have asked this yeas ago and there was no a way or I could not find it.
