Excluding files and directories not working for me

Hi!

I'm using the newest version of WinSCP and I'm trying to exclude a couple of directories from syncing but I can not get it working. I've set the following excludes:

Excluding files:
Excluding directories:
But after all those rules it's still trying to transfer those files (see attachment). Anybody who has an idea what I'm doing wrong?

WinSCP does not support masks with relative paths. The path has to be absolute or masked (e.g. with leading *, i.e. */application/exports).
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask#path

Edit 2021: The next version will support relative masks:

Thanks. I'll give it a try!

Yep, works. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I'm add this:
to include masks. But when I sync, synced only my-edit folder. Can you help me? What I do wrong? Thank you.

Because the media and components are not on the include list, so WinSCP never gets to zoo or com_zoo.

Thank you, but what I must do, to include only this */components/com_zoo folder? When I add */components, then comparisons all subfolders.

That's correct. You have to exclude the subfolders you do not want to transfer.
