Hi,

Is there a way to exclude certain file when using Synchronize. If yes, could you give me a simple example code.

Thanks

Synchronize files from specified date stamp?

2012-01-20 11:18

Hi,

Is there a command to synchronize files starting from a specified date stamp? I would like to exclude files if their file's modified dates is before 1 Jan 2012.

Thanks.

In Tracker Bug 672, the status is Fixed in: 5.0.6. Does it mean version 5.0.6? Is it possible to download this version and know the command to exclude by time stamp? Currently, in the download page, we can see 5.0.5 but not 5.0.6.

Thanks.

Is it possible to request pre-release version (5.0.6) of WinSCP? I recently donated a small amount. Thanks. :)

I have emailed you a link to development version of WinSCP.

Syntax file mask with timestamp is:
<2012-02-01 00:00:00

Thanks a lot Martin, got the development version. In my script below, if I wanted to synchronize documents posted >= 2012-01-01 00:00:00, where will I insert the command:

open ftp://username:password@ftpserver.itu.int
synchronize local C:\TEST\docs /docs
close

Thanks again.

Regards

Hi Martin,

I was trying to synchronize with filemask and include Word documents (*.doc*) only using the commands below, but it seems, it doesn't work:

option include=*.doc*
synchronize -filemask="<2012-02-01 00:00:00" local C:\TEST\docs /docs

synchronize -filemask="<2012-02-01 00:00:00" local C:\TEST\docs /docs -include="*.doc*"

Could you kindly help me.
Thank you.

The -filemask swich overrides include option (which is obsolete anyway with 5.0.6).
Also there's no -include switch.

Correct syntax is:

synchronize -filemask="*.doc*<2012-02-01 00:00:00" local C:\TEST\docs /docs

Thanks again, it works. That command filters Word doc with timestamp.

Another question, if I would like to include multiple filters, for example, Word (*.doc*) and Powerpoint (*.ppt*) files, what will be the command. I tried the command below, but it doesn't work.

synchronize -filemask="*.doc* *.ppt* <2012-02-01 00:00:00" local C:\TEST\docs /docs

Also, is it possible to have the new switch commands available for synchronize?

Many thanks for your excellent support.

Regards.

Do not understand.

Thank again :D , that command worked perfectly.

For my other question, is there a web page describing the new Synchronize command, with examples? If there is none yet, it's ok.

Regards.

The up-to-date documentation is on the same page all the time:

Parameter -filemask in .NET Assembly?

2012-03-23 10:22

What will be the equivalent command of filemask in .NET Assembly as shown below?

synchronize -filemask="*.doc*<2012-02-01; *.ppt*<2012-02-01" local C:\TEST\docs /docs

.NET example:
synchronizationResult =
session.SynchronizeDirectories(
SynchronizationMode.Local, @"C:\TEST\docs", "/docs", false);

Thank you.

Ignore Certain Folders During a sync

2013-07-03 09:27

I was wondering how to sync all folders on my desktop computer with those hosted on a remote server.
I have established connection with the server and been able to synchronize with it but there are folders to which I do not have the required permissions and I wish to exclude them from the sync.

This is not a problem if doing it manually but I wish to automate the process.
