I want to copy everything bar one very large folder from my current

The only real problem I'm having is finding out how to copy all the
files bar one. I could copy a few at a time I suppose but that seems
rather long winded.
Trawling round the web hasn't produced any answers. Any body got any
ideas

Does bar means excluded mate? :-)
Ok, supposed you have a bar directory,
we can lorry the other files and gotten them copied
to a destination directory.
rsync --exclude=/home/bar -a /home /newhome
You can always snuck in another --exclude= to rsync.
