Filter Downloads
If required, use this page to specify filters limiting which files the Task downloads.
A filter tests a filename against a wildcard-pattern such as *.zip or *.jpg. WatchFTP ignores the difference between UPPER and lower case characters.
Only download files that match these filters: Only download a file if its name matches at least one of the filters in this list.
Enter one or more filters separated by semicolons (;), e.g. "*.zip;*.doc;plan.*". If you leave this field empty, all files are downloaded.
Important: A filter is applied to the filename (e.g. "hello.zip") only, not on the complete path (e.g. "/downloads/hello.zip").
Do NOT download files that match these filters: Exclude a file if its name matches any of the filters in this list. This setting overrides the Only download files that match these filters setting.
Examples
| Filename | Only download files that match these filters: *.JPG;*.PNG | Do NOT download files that match these filters: HE*.* | Downloaded? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hello.doc | Fail | Pass | No |
| hello.png | Pass | Fail | No |
| world.png | Pass | Pass | Yes |
