Exclude Sub Folders

2023-10-27 01:35

I am using VB.NET and I am retrieving files from a folder named /Output. Apparently there are sub-folders that have been added that I do not want to retrieve files from.
I am using the code below...

Dim transferOptions As New TransferOptions
transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary
transferOptions.FileMask = "|*/"
Dim transferResult As TransferOperationResult
transferResult =
    session.GetFiles(My.Settings.Source, My.Settings.Destination, False, transferOptions)

When I inserted the line

transferOptions.FileMask = "|*/"

I do not retrieve anything and I get the error message

Could not find directory '/Outbound'.

Can someone tell me what I have wrong here?

Thanks!

You didn't tell us what syntax do the Source and Destination have.
So I will guess that the Source is /Outbound, while it should have been /Outbound/*:

Alternatively, use Session.GetFilesToDirectory, where /Outbound would do.
