Wow that works, thanks much.
While I was waiting I experimented with the ls command.

ls -lR | grep UAP

this command seemed to work also. It ignored the folders with the dot in front it.
What do you think?

Also is there a way with that find command (or the ls command) you showed to let the command search through the tree but instead of making it ignore the .step folder, can you write an expression that will only look in folders that had a particular name such as com_station2 no matter where such a folder exist, lets say there is a /repo/fid2/com_station2/ and /rpos/fid3/com_station2/. So that it ignores all other folders except if there is a com_station2 in the path name. And it will still search for files with *UAP* in it.

Thanks alot

reposync(1)															       reposync(1)

NAME

       reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory

SYNOPSIS

       reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

       reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a local directory, using yum to retrieve the packages.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message, and then quit.

       -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
	      Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).

       -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
	      Act as if running the specified arch (default: current arch, note: does not override $releasever. x86_64 is a superset for i*86.).

       --source
	      Also download .src.rpm files.

       -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID
	      Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled).

       -t, --tempcache
	      Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.

       -p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR
	      Path to download packages to: defaults to current directory.

       -g, --gpgcheck
	      Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading.  exit status is '1' if at least one package was removed.

       -u, --urls
	      Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.

       -l, --plugins
	      Enable yum plugin support.

       -n, --newest-only
	      Download only newest packages per-repo.

       -q, --quiet
	      Output as little information as possible.

EXAMPLES

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
	       reposync --repoid=updates

       Sync only the newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
	       reposync -n --repoid=updates

       Sync packages from the 'updates' and 'extras' repos to the current directory:
	       reposync --repoid=updates --repoid=extras

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
	       reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

       Sync  all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory excluding x86_64 arch. Edit /etc/yum.conf adding option exclude=*.x86_64.
       Then:
	      reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

FILES

       reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum	configura-
       tion will be used.

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
