Trouble with filemask when running a synchronise
Hi,
Can anyone help me. I have to retrieve files from a source directory on a source server and put them on a different server in a different directory. I only want to transfer new or amended files and only files that follow a particular naming convention.
Here is my script:
It does appear to transfer all files with the naming convention ABC*.csv, BUT it also appears to transfer any other file as well.
Am I doing something wrong? Any pointers?
Thank you!
