Hi Wayne, What would be really nice, and I imagine quite easy from a coding perspective would be to allow the user to apply a regex match on the full pathname of the files being transferred.
Anyway, thanks for your confirmation - I have worked around this problem.

Yes, that's the only solution that avoids creating a lot of empty dirs at the moment. The closest you can get with include/exclude rules is something like this: + */ + lib/* - * That would copy the immediate contents of all "lib" dirs, and also the entire hierarchy of directories. If you want all the contents from the subdirs under "lib", you would need to change "lib/*" to "lib/**". ..wayne.. *********************************************************************************** The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
