Synchronize specific files from subdirs

2026-04-01 05:33

Currently I have:

"synchronize local -filemask=filter.yaml|forms\;.boxtrapper\;webdav\;@pwcache\ d:\temp\etc\ etc"

I would like synchronize only filter.yaml files from etc\dir1 etc\dir2 ... without having to specifically exclude all the subdirs

It appears I figured it out

"synchronize local -filemask=*etc/*/filter.yaml|.security/ -rawtransfersettings ""ExcludeEmptyDirectories=1"" d:\temp\etc\ /home1/henry/etc" ^

Thanks for sharing your solution.

When I generated code for get to do a similar function what is the [1] in rawtransfersettings[1]

get -filemask="filter.yaml" -rawtransfersettings[1] ExcludeEmptyDirectories=1 etc

It appears it's the number of raw setting parameters to parse before destination?
