How to exclude some folders from TXT file

Hello,

I want to synchronize excluding some folders BUT I dont want to add every folder to my code to exclude them, is there a way I can add a TXT file where can contain all the folders name that I want to exclude???

My code:

synchronize local -filemask="*.zip>2013-02-07|archive/" D:\BIOS /remote/BIOS

instead of adding |archive, I want to add something like |exclude.txt where will be included a list of folders I want to exclude.

THX

Does winSCP still not support how to exclude / include specific folders/directories reading a list from a TXT file or any other file type???

I want to read a TXT file with all the paths to be only included within my synchronization, and let WINSCP to synchronize only those that are included in the TXT file.

Thanks for support.

No, WinSCP still does not support that. I do not think it ever will.

Though it is pretty easy to write a PowerShell script that loads such file and composes a WinSCP file mask from its contents and passes it to Session.SynchronizeDirectories.
