Example:
/etc/test.tpl
/etc/dir/test.tpl
/etc/dir/**/test.tpl

One command that solves this is:
rsync --dry-run --verbose --recursive --relative --prune-empty-dirs --include="**/" --include="*.tpl" --exclude="*" /source /dest/
--relative: Recreate all parent folders.--include="**/": The**part allows recursion for folders (/).--include="*.tpl": The pattern.--exclude="*": Exclude the rest.
So far, we have included the whole folder structure, albeit with empty folders.
--prune-empty-dirs: Remove empty folders [from the list].
