rsync4j throws error when direct use of rsync doesn't (pattern in source) about rsync4j HOT 2 CLOSED

/home/sweet/home/s/*.inf most likely gets expanded by your shell. Instead of using *.inf in your source, just use the directory and use --include/--exclude. Something like this:

/usr/bin/rsync --recursive --links --times --compress --itemize-changes --include="*.inf" --exclude="*" /home/sweet/home/s /home/sweet/home/t

You can use methods Rsync.include(String...) and Rsync.exclude(String...) for that (order is relevant!).

NB: Haven't tested it.

That didn't work, but I meanwhile discovered that the legacy bash script I am to replace by a Java solution connects to a rsync daemon. I quickly set one up and tested again. There, patterns work as expected.

Thanks a lot for your support!
