Correct mask is "*/; *.png", to select all folders and all png files.

Thank you

OK, I'll consider adding the include filter.
Asphodel

I am copying large directory structures which have some massive data files and lots of run files. I only want to transfer the small log file that is contained in each directory. It takes a long time just to go to every directory and copy the file across so I use a really long exclude list to filter out the files I need. I thought it might be possible to switch between exlcude and include when using the the mask on your next release.

Thanks

Sorry, I've misunderstood. So why don't you select just files you want to copy? Or do you need recursive copy of one file type only?
Asphodel

Is that for the command line or this for the norton interface. I was refering to the "exclude mask" on the copy window.

Thanks for the prompt reply

Re: exclude/include filter

I guess that wildcards is what you need:
get *.html *.png d:\www\*.bak

See Examples section of "help get".

exclude/include filter

Is it possible to put in a switch so that when scping, you can specify only the type of files you want to transfer instead of having a large list for exclusion of files. I only want to scp 1 file type and as a result must make a large list for exclude field
