Filter files (via a file mask) whose filenames are lower than something (e.g <*2024-11-09*)
I always used this as a file mask for filtering files on an SFTP storage: <*2024-11-09*
This showed me all the files whose filenames (not dates!) were before *2024-11-09*, e.g. backup_2024-11-08.tar.
Now this does not work anymore, the mask is invalid and I get an error message. The documentation also tells me that is is not possible.
First question: When did this behaviour change? There is nothing in the changelog.
Second question: How do I achieve what I'm trying to do? I need to delete a lot of files. I cannot use the date, because the upload date is not always the backup date (due to errors on my server's side).
