Use [WinSCP.SynchronizationCriteria]::Time, the same syntax you are using for SynchronizationMode and Protocol already.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_powershell#enums

Thanks!

Makes sense, here is what I use if others can use it, the 1 in there is to use the time option for criteria, did not find a nicer way to pass it on!, but it works !:

.
.
$synchronizationResult = $session.SynchronizeDirectories(
[WinSCP.SynchronizationMode]::Remote, "d:\temp", "/", $True, $False, 1, $TransferOptions)
.
.

You are passing $transferoptions to mirror parameter of Session.SynchronizeDirectories method, not to the correct options parameter. See syntax at:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session_synchronizedirectories and
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_library_parameters

Here is the log file,

Thanks!

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Good day All!

I am trying to synchronize directories, including only files starting with Backup_ , with a powershell script, but it seems to ignore my filemask, here it is, any help welcome!:

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("\\d:\temp\WinSCPnet.dll") | Out-Null

# Main script
try
{
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions
$sessionOptions.Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
$sessionOptions.HostName = "sftpserver"
$sessionOptions.PortNumber = "222"
$sessionOptions.UserName = "ftpusername"
$sessionOptions.Password = "pwd"
$sessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"


$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
try
{
# Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
$transferoptions= New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$TransferOptions.FileMask = "Backup_*.zip|*/"
# Synchronize files
$synchronizationResult = $session.SynchronizeDirectories(
[WinSCP.SynchronizationMode]::Remote, "d:\temp", "/", $True, $transferoptions)

# Throw on any error
$synchronizationResult.Check()
}
finally
{
# Disconnect, clean up
$session.Dispose()
}

exit 0
}
catch [Exception]
{
Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
exit 1
}
