Exclude files/folders from synchronization

Good morning.

I would like to request the ability to exclude files and/or folders from the synchronization process, as I'm sure other users here would appreciate the same ability.

I have four folders on the server that I work on daily, that have over 400 files and 317 folders that only change once a year.

If there is an ability to mark that parent folder as Exempt that would be awesome! That would cut down almost three minutes of scanning each time I run the sync (quite a few times a day).

Thanks!

On Synchronize dialog, go to Transfer settings:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_synchronize
And there edit the file mask:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_transfer_custom
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_editmask

I was already in the right spot, I just had to mess with it a little bit more.

I was already in the right place, just didn't realize that the program *must* have wildcards even for directories. Usually when you include a path, it will include the sub folders. I didn't figure WinSCP would need to go back to the 1900's for exclusions - lol

Now that I fixed it (working vs not_working attachments), it is working correctly.

Thank you for verifying I was in the correct area!
