Re: Using filemask with exclude and timestamp
You were almost there:
It's
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask
get -filemask="*.*>2013-5-29 07:11:00| */" *.* .\
It's
include_mask|exclude_mask and time constraint is part of the include_mask:

Using filemask with exclude and timestamp
Hi
I'm trying to use -filemask to download files since a certain timestamp, AND exclude sub directories.
On it's own, the timestamp works fine, but it downloads qualifying files in the sub directories too:
On its own, excluding sub directories also works fine:
However, when I attempt to combine the two, I get an error:
I tried wrapping the filemask in double double-quotes (per this link https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12192) but got errors about changing directory (see below - earlier in the script I changed to the /Downloads folder without issue)
Any suggestions?
