Your scripts synchronize all files with given names, anywhere on the C:\ drive.
If you do not want to synchronize subfolders, see:
How do I transfer (or synchronize) directory non-recursively?
The the final script will be like:
synchronize remote -filemask=_qw.txt|*/ -preview "C:\" "/"
The same can also be achieved with put -neweronly:
put -neweronly C:\_qw.txt /

Thank you so much sir. You're a lifesaver, but I have one more question, I know I can use
synchronize remote -filemask=A.txt;B.txt|*/ "C:\" "/"
to sync A.txt and B.txt files. But how about a file A.txt with a directory called my_folder?

I tried
synchronize remote -filemask=A.txt;my_folder/|*/ "C:\" "/"
and
synchronize remote -filemask=A.txt;my_folder\|*/ "C:\" "/"
but it didn't work. :(

But if the feature is not supported then I will just use put with -neweronly argument as your suggestion, but the stdout still output even WinSCP didnt sync anything is kind of weird :|
Anyway. I love WinSCP already, it's super useful for me rn. :) Starred WinSCP!

What do you mean by "with a directory"? Do you mean "in a directory"?
This should do (i.e., drop the |*/):
synchronize remote -filemask=A.txt;my_folder/ "C:\" "/"
Or simply:
synchronize remote -filemask=A.txt|*/ "C:\my_folder" "/my_folder"
