| For a partial 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, a mask ''*/public_html/*.bak'' will match backup files both in ''D:\Documents\public_html\'' and ''/home/martinp/public_html/''. | For a partial path mask it makes no difference whether you use back (''\'') or forward slashes (''/''); the mask will always work for both local and remote paths.

| + | Paths starting with a dot followed by a slash (''./'' or ''.\'') are matched from the root of the operation (such as file transfer or synchronization). For example, when uploading files and folders from local path ''D:\Documents\public_html\'' to remote path ''/home/martinp/public_html/'', mask ''.\data\*.txt'' matches ''*.txt'' files in ''D:\Documents\public_html\data\''. | ||
| 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/''. | You can also specify full path to a specific file or directory, both local and remote.

| - | The full path mask matches a local or a remote paths only, depending on the 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 it effectively excludes all files on the other side of the synchronization, breaking it. In general, use partial path masks with the synchronization. | + | The full path mask matches a local or a remote paths only, depending on the syntax used.((Paths starting with drive letter and colon match local paths only.
