Exclude multiple folders using AWS S3 sync

Question

How to exclude multiple folders while using aws s3 syn ?

I tried :

# aws s3 sync  s3://inksedge-app-file-storage-bucket-prod-env   s3://inksedge-app-file

For those who are looking for sync some subfolder in a bucket, the exclude filter applies to the files and folders inside the folder that is be syncing, and not the path with respect to the bucket, example:

aws s3 sync s3://bucket1/bootstrap/ s3://bucket2/bootstrap --exclude '*' --include 'css/*'

would sync the folder bootstrap/css but not bootstrap/js neither bootstrap/fonts in the following folder tree:

bootstrap/
├── css/
│   ├── bootstrap.css
│   ├── bootstrap.min.css
│   ├── bootstrap-theme.css
│   └── bootstrap-theme.min.css
├── js/
│   ├── bootstrap.js
│   └── bootstrap.min.js
└── fonts/
    ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
    ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
    ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
    └── glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff

That is, the filter is 'css/*' and not 'bootstrap/css/*'
