Re: Exclude Multiple Folders from transferlist

2024-04-29

@t51: If I understand correctly what you want to achieve, then you have the include and exclude masks reversed.
It should be:

*/ | /server/path/one/;/server/path/two/

Though the */ is noop, so the idiomatic mask would be:

| /server/path/one/;/server/path/two/

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask#include_exclude

Exclude Multiple Folders from transferlist

2024-04-25 20:59

I have a session whose root directory contains multiple folder and file. I want to exclude two directories from transferring from the server directory.

Let's say /server/path/one and /server/path/two.

I am using the WinSCP NuGet package in VB.NET framework. Currently the code is as follows

Dim transferOptions As New TransferOptions
transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary
transferOptions.FileMask = $"/server/path/one/;/server/path/two/ | */"
transferOptions.AddRawSettings("NewerOnly", "1") 
 
Dim transferResult As TransferOperationResult
transferResult = session.GetFiles($"{ServerDirectory}", $"{ClientDirectory}", False, transferOptions)

but when it runs it return empty directories and does not transfer any of the file in neither the base nor the sub directories

So please post some logs.

Your attempt with >2024-03-04 is definitely wrong.

Sadly no

Sadly no. It still tries to transfer the file which makes no sense.

I tried making it go after a certain date because the new files are not locked but then it gave some message about merging files together,

get Generate*.bt    -delete   >2024-03-04

This tried to merge all the files together. It also did not delete them.

To work around it I wrote get statements for each of the valid file prefixes. We will just handle the others manually on request. It's a pain but after that last one I can't risk losing files on our system because the program decided to merge them together.

Re: Can it work with -delete

@TPyne: What about this?

get * -delete -filemask=*.bt|PCID*

Can it work with -delete

2024-02-29 22:29

I process several files with WinSCP however somehow a few a locked on the other server which belongs to another company. So they do not delete when I use the command

get *.bt -delete

This means not only does it not process past the locked file it keeps downloading it over and over.

I tried get *.bt -delete |PCID* and even -delete |PCID*.bt but then it says it cannot get the file information.

Any ideas.

I've reached out to the other company to manually delete the file but they can take days. I've used WinSCP and several other FTP clients to delete this file and get a 550 error.

The irony is the file was generated by the other company. We would normally download it and process it but since it is locked somehow we cannot. It would just process the same file over and over.

This script has been running for a few years now and until today no issues.

Is there a way I can ignore a specific filename but still have the -delete switch. We have to delete the files we pull down.

Re: How to transfer multiple file types

@Jovy: It would help, if you show us your current code.
Until you do, I can only point you to the documentation:

How to transfer multiple file types

2019-08-13 10:40

Hi,

I've succeeded to transfer one file type but how do I code it in script and batch file? For instance I need to transfer both csv and txt file? How should I append it.

Thanks Martin, now I get it.

If anyone is interested, This make the trick to filter by file type and exclude sub folders:

*.jpg |  */

For instance:

transferOptions.FileMask = jsonConfig.files_mask + " | */";

Re: Directory Transfer: Multiple file mask

2017-01-05

I'm not sure I understand the question.

If you want more masks, just separate them with a semicolon, like *.jpg;*.png;*.gif | */

Directory Transfer: Multiple file mask

2017-01-02 20:29

Hi guys. Thanks for this awesome library :) it's helping a lot.

I'm working with VS2015 C# and I have following code.

// Upload files
TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();
transferOptions.TransferMode = tmde;
// that will contain "*.jpg;|*/"; 
transferOptions.FileMask = jsonConfig.files_mask;
 
SynchronizationResult syncResult =
    session.SynchronizeDirectories(
        SynchronizationMode.Remote,
        jsonConfig.local_path,
        jsonConfig.remote_path,
        false,
        false,
        SynchronizationCriteria.None,
        transferOptions);
