File Filtering For FTP and SFTP Synchronization

File Filtering options for synchronization can be accessed in a server profile's Synchronization tab, or a Sync Task's Synchronization tab. On the tab, there is a button for Include Filters and another for Exclude Filters. The parameters are identical for both include and exclude. Files matching include filters will be included in the synchronization process, while those matching exclude filters will be excluded. Note that a file that passes the filtering will not necessarily be transferred or replaced. Whether a file will be transferred, replaced, deleted, or moved is determined by the result of synchronization (scheme and other options).

• Case sensitive filters

If selected, filters are case sensitive.

• File Filters

Filters applied to files. Multiple filters can be separated with a comma.

• Folder Filters

Filters applied to folders. Multiple filters can be separated with a comma.

• File size range

If selected, TurboFTP only considers the files that have file size within the size range.

• File time range

If selected, TurboFTP only considers the files that have a timestamp within the time range.

• File changed

There are 2 options in this feature:

1) Within Last

Files must have been changed with a certain period before now, measured in Minutes, Hours, or Days.
(e.g., you enter 10 in the text box with the Hours option, only files which are changed within the last 10 hours will be considered.)

2) Beyond Last

Files must have been changed beyond a certain period before now, measured in Minutes, Hours, or Days.
(e.g., you enter 10 in the text box with the Hours option, only files that are changed beyond the last 10 hours will be considered.)

• File attributes

If this option is selected for include filters, TurboFTP will only include the files matching any of the selected attributes; for exclude filters, TurboFTP will exclude the files matching any of the selected attributes.
