File Filter

File filter allows you highlight the filename and skip the file/folder you want not to transfer.

Mask - The mask supports wildcard and regular expressions.

Wildcard:

There are two kind of wildcards, one is (*), the other is (?). (*) stands for any number of characters (?)stands for one character. and they are case-insensitive.

Example:

*.txt matchs aaa.txt and bbb.txt

a?.txt matchs aa.txt and ab.txt

Regular Expressions:

Regular Expressions allow to search complex patterns of words. it looks a bit hard for novices, but it's really simple and powerful. To learn how it works, please visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

Color - You can select a color and all folders/files will be displayed as this color at server view.

Scope - Choose to skip file or directory transfer
