I use rsync now from the command line between two servers to transfer files. Is there a command line TUI application for rsync or something else which does the same?

Common use cases is to exclude multiple folders from within the folder which is being transferred. It would be usefull to that with some sort of TUI. Even better would be to see the folder size along with it.

Edit: the application should run in a CLI anointment. I am looking for a TUI like Midnight Commander or NCDU.

Edit2: apparently a GUI for CLI is called a TUI, (a Text-based user interface). Didn't know that. Edited the question.

I use grsync, it's a simple GUI that supports most of "basic" rsync parameters, however for include/exclude parameters, in this tool you have to add them manually. It does not support GUI selection of directories to include/exclude.

Edit: I just understood from your comments that you want a TUI application, not GUI. I just found a video demonstrating some TUI application for rsync, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrBUZ2g5_O4 . I don't know this app, so I can't provide any more information about it. There's a Github link in the Youtube video description: https://github.com/gotbletu/shownotes/blob/master/vifm_rsync_frontend.md
