need help on excluding a specific file name during sync

hi,

i need to exclude *_LTR_* and *_TOB_* from my sync list and not able to do this,

tried these but none helped (both style)

option exclude "[A-Z]_LTR_[A-Z].gz"
option exclude "?_TOB_?"


pls help

The current syntax in the latest version of WinSCP is:
synchronize -filemask="|*_LTR_*; *_TOB_*" ...
Though the "option exclude" should still work, althought it is deprecated.

sorry, couldnt catch, kindly could you pls give an example

my script looks like this at the excluding area,
i tried both the "?" and "*" to check but both failing to [b]exclude [/b]

option transfer binary
option exclude ".removed_logs"
option exclude "?_TOB_?"
option exclude "?_S17-?"
option exclude "?_TS_?"
option exclude "*_LTR_*"
option exclude "*_TOB_*"
synchronize local E:\Logs\ /Incoming

an example would help i guess ..

First, I have edited my response, it should be -filemask=.

Even if you insist on using deprecated "option exclude", you need to combine all masks into one. What you are doing that that every call to option exclude overwrite the previous value. They do not add-up. See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_option
E.g.
option exclude ".removed_logs; *_TOB_*; *_S17-*"

many many thanks :lol: this is sorted n working
