Transfer files without extensions in ASCII mode using Automatic transfer mode

Hello,

I can't find it possible to transfer files without extensions in ASCII mode using automatic transfer mode. Is it possible to include such a feature in next release - or is there a way to do this in the latest release?

I have a lot of unix files which have no file extensions. I.e. a dir command could give this list:
With automatic transfer mode, I want the unix script bgtest and the text file bgtestdata.txt to be transferred as ASCII; and the file redbox.gif to be transferred as binary.

I do not understand why it does not with with *., but you are right, it does not. I'll try to fix it in the next release.

Thanks! And good luck fixing it to the next release. I look forward to that! :-)

I've just downloaded the latest version of WinSCP (3.8.2 build 330) and looked forward to see this feature working, but it still doesn't... :( Maybe you forgot it? I tried to use the include mask, but it didn't work either. A possible solution would be to allow regular expressions to be used as patterns in the mask feature. Then something like [^\.]* would fit.

Anyhow, thanks for all good work! / Mårten

It will be solved in 4.0.1. Coming soon :-)

Mm, great! Look forward to seeing it. Fantastic work you're doing. :-)

Since the next release mask *. will select files without an extension (even without a dot).

Sorry for late reply... :oops: After two years, I've finally upgraded my WinSCP and have installed the latest version now (4.1.9). With *. transferring files without extensions automatically in ASCII mode now works just great! Thanks! :D
