Surprisingly, this can actually be done with rsync(1) alone, without shell access to the remote server.

Assuming bash(1) and GNU date(1):

#! /usr/bin/env bash src=rsync://example.com/archives/ dst=/path/to/mirrors cutoff=$( date -d '7 days ago' +%s ) rsync -na --no-motd --out-format='%M %f' "$src" "$dst" | \ while IFS=' ' read -r d fn; do fdate=$( date -d "${d/-/ }" +%s ) || continue if [ $fdate -ge $cutoff ]; then printf '%s\0' "$fn"; fi done | \ rsync -a --files-from=- -0 "$src" "$dst"
