Re: OPTION EXCLUDE with strange results for hidden UNIX files

Hej Martin,

it works like a charm.
So, given the following folder structure: 
 Directory of \\backup\backup3

11-05-2020  18:53    <DIR>          .

11-05-2020  12:13    <DIR>          ..

11-05-2020  18:57    <DIR>          .proftpd.fifo

14-05-2020  20:35    <DIR>          Daily Backups

11-05-2020  12:18    <DIR>          Old Backups

11-05-2020  12:37    <DIR>          Test


I have two possibilities now: 
synchronize  -filemask=|.proftpd.fifo/;"Old Backups/";"Test/"  remote  "\\backup\backup3\"   "/Daily Backups/"
vs. 
synchronize  remote   "\\backup\backup3\Daily Backups\"   "/Daily Backups/"
Where the former uses the file mask to exclude the unwanted ones, and the latter uses the source folder to only include the wanted.

Thank you!

Re: OPTION EXCLUDE with strange results for hidden UNIX files

You are right, it is a folder.
Do you mean to say I should use another exclude filter then? Which one?

Re: OPTION EXCLUDE with strange results for hidden UNIX files

Thanks for all the details. Isn't the .proftpd.fifo actually a folder, not a file?

Re: OPTION EXCLUDE with strange results for hidden UNIX files

Hej Martin
Here we go.
First, as it looked on the command prompt. Note that it does not exclude the file .protftpd.fifo, the rest is secondary. Note further that the source folder \\backup\backup3\ is on an FTP server as well, but since WinSCP cannot copy directly from one FTP server to another, I had to share the folder on the source FTP server as an SMB share.
