rsync multiple directories into single directory on remote
I would like to find and backup all *.mp4 files from /Pictures and its sub-directories and move them to a single directory on a remote. I can find and move the files but I don't want the directory structure...just the files to be placed in a single remote directory.

To find my files I use
Code:
rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete --include '*/' --include  '*.mp4' --exclude '*' /home/drew/Pictures/ remoteserver:/Users/drew/mp4

but this creates all the subdirectories

I also tried
Code:
find ~/Pictures -name "*.mp4" -exec rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l user" --delete {} remote:/Users/drew/mp4 \;

This works but takes forever

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
