You can also specify full path to a specific file or directory, both local and remote. For example if you want to match only a specific ''.csv'' directory, not all, use ''/home/martinp/data/.csv/'' instead of ''.csv/''.

-The full path mask matches a local or a remote paths only, depending on syntax used. This matters for [[task_synchronize|synchronization]] particularly, for which you may need to use a separate full path mask for both local and remote path. Or use a partial path mask.+The full path mask matches a local or a remote paths only, depending on syntax used.((Paths starting with drive letter and colon match local paths only. Paths starting with slash match remote path only. Type of slashes does not matter.)) This matters for [[task_synchronize|synchronization]] particularly. For exclude masks, may need to use a separate full path mask for both local and remote path. For include masks, using a full path mask does not make sense with synchronization, as is effectively excludes all files on the other side of the synchronization, breaking it. In general, use partial path masks with the synchronization.

On the contrary, mask ''*.'' matches any file or directory without an extension.
