gzip - Linux zip a directory excluding some internal directories -


i'm trying zip public_html folder exclusion of 2 folders, this:

tar -czf myzip.tar.gz --exclude=home/mydomain/public_html/folder0 --exclude=home/zeejfl6/folder1 /home/mydomain/public_html/

but error:

tar: removing leading `/' member names 

i tried few combinations... doing wrong?

it's not error, it's warning.

archives containing absolute paths files security risk. imagine archive containing /etc/passwd.


if insist upon having absolute paths in archive, use -p option:

 -p, --absolute-names        don't strip leading `/'s file names
