| - | When the mask selects files and it makes sense to select them based on directory, you can extend the mask with a path mask. You should separate the path mask from the filename mask by a slash. For a relative path mask it makes no difference whether you use back (''\'') or forward slashes (''/''); the mask will always work for both local and remote paths. For example, the exclude mask ''*/public_html/*.bak'' will exclude backup files both in ''D:\Documents\public_html'' and ''/home/martinp/public_html''. If you want to match directories only, add a slash at the end of the mask. | + | When the mask selects files and it makes sense to select them based on directory, you can extend the mask with a path mask.

| Particularly when specifying an [[ui_transfer#other_options|include mask]] for transfers, bear in mind that it is applied to directories as well, so that ''*.bak'' will only match backup files located in the current directory (unless you happen to have a subdirectory whose own name ends in ".bak", in which case it will be applied to all backup files in there too). | Particularly when specifying an [[ui_transfer#other_options|include mask]] for transfers, bear in mind that it is applied to directories as well, so that ''*.bak'' will only match backup files located in the current directory (unless you happen to have a subdirectory whose own name ends in ".bak", in which case it will be applied to all backup files in there too). | ||
