Problem excluding folders with synchronise and filemask

2024-06-07 12:06

Hello everyone
I should exclude 3 folders and all their subfolders and files
from a copy with sync

I was thinking of using the -filemask option but I can't find documentation for using it

This is the code of my script:

option confirm off
option batch continue
option exclude  "E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\1\*;  E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\2\*"
open ftp://utente:1@127.0.0.1:21
synchronize remote  -mirror -delete -filemask="|1/"  E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\ /e/condivisa/ftp/remota/
exit

the folder to exclude would only be:

E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\1\

but I noticed that it also excludes folders with the same name in other locations:

E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\2\1

Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance

If you want to exclude only specific instance of 1 folder, use a full path to the folder:

-filemask="|E:\condivisa\ftp\locale\1\"

or a relative path to it:

-filemask="|.\1\"

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

There should be no problem with spaces in filenames in the file mask.
If you need further help, we need your new script and corresponding log file.
