Are you referring to Filter function in WinSCP GUI? This is done on client side.

I use Protocol.Sftp

I thought it exists because it seems to be implemented in WinScp application. In WinScp when you apply a filter before to select directory, it is so fast to get filtered files list that I thought it was filtering at the server level.

Thanks for your reply.

WinSCP does not support this. What protocol are you using? Note that most protocols, including FTP and SFTP, does not allow filtering anyway.

Hi,

Is it possible to apply a mask when reading files in a directory when using WinSCP within VS2010

I have to search for files in directories that contains thousands of file. It is really slow if I can't put a filter on my search. (It is possible with WinSCP exe)

For example :

Dim directory As RemoteDirectoryInfo = session.ListDirectory("/export/org/backup/*ZZZ*o") to get all files in directory backup with filename containing ZZZ and ending with o

Thanks
