Re: Subfolders mask not working

2015-01-29

When I add */components, then comparisons all subfolders.

That's correct. You have to exclude the subfolders you do not want to transfer.

Thank you, but what I must do, to include only this */components/com_zoo folder? When I add */components, then comparisons all subfolders.

Because the media and components are not on the include list, so WinSCP never gets to zoo or com_zoo.

Subfolders mask not working

Hi,
I'm add this:

*/media/zoo

*/components/com_zoo

*/my-edit

to include masks. But when I sync, synced only my-edit folder. Can you help me? What I do wrong? Thank you.

Re: Excluding files and directories not working for me

2013-11-13

WinSCP does not support masks with relative paths. The path has to be absolute or masked (e.g. with leading *, i.e. */application/exports).
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask#path

Edit 2021: The next version will support relative masks:

Excluding files and directories not working for me

2013-11-13 13:11

Hi!

I'm using the newest version of WinSCP and I'm trying to exclude a couple of directories from syncing but I can not get it working. I've set the following excludes:

Excluding files:

./application/exports/*

./application/logs/*

./public/images/products/*

./public/uploads/*

.\application\exports\*

.\application\logs\*

.\public\images/products\*

.\public\uploads\*

Excluding directories:

./application/exports

./application/logs

./public/images/products

./public/uploads

.\application\exports

.\application\logs

.\public\images\products

.\public\uploads

But after all those rules it's still trying to transfer those files (see attachment). Anybody who has an idea what I'm doing wrong?
