Thanks. Also informing you that as far as Excludes are concerned the option you have given suits me well because apart from subfolders I also need to exclude files that have come into the folder after the FTP process has started (snapshot effect). My FTP upload may go on for 2 to 3 days and the application may stop and start several times. Also my requirement is mainly for upload. Download is only in case of any data loss on local machine.
