Can't exclude directories in command line

I'm using WinSCP 6.3.1.14821 on Win2022.

I have a FTP server containing:
On my local machine, I cd into a directory and call the following to synchronize everything except mydir completely:
It still downloads mydir, even if I use |/mydir/.
Even WinSCP dialog generates such filemask so what is the filemask I should use?

Output is:

so it doesn't help to understand how this command should be used in the command line.
This is why I didn't understand about the quotes.

If you add such example, it would easier to get the idea:

Command-line examples are in command-line syntax documentation:
