Dear Weewx users.

I'd like to ask how can I prevent Rsync called by Weewx from deleting a directory or file on a remote server when refreshing the site with weather observations?

The problem is: I wrote short documentation for people visiting my PWS site. It is in directory called 'docs'. I put it manually to the main directory of remote WWW server (public_html). When my Weewx updates files and is sending them by Rsync, 'docs' directory is being deleted from server. I can't protect it by 'chatrr +i' in Linux because this is hosted server and I can't use all normal Linux system tools.
