Filemask in place but not working

I use the WinSCP (5.7.4) powershell script that will move all files in a remote folder from the SFTP server. The issue I have is partly because of the bad design of the folder structure (where I have no influence at)

I have a root folder for user 'ftp01' and that folder contains the following (sub)folders with XML files in it.

EXCLUDE FOLDERS:
ROOT (/cygdrive/c/program files (x86)/icw/home/ftp01/Input)
I want the script to fetch all xml files from ALL subfolders named 'test' and move them to my local directory with one script and kick it off with a windows scheduled task.

If I point the script to only one "test" folder the script works perfectly, but when I use ROOT folder as remotepath and experiment with i.e. filemasks it won't work.

I can clone the script a couple of times with a different remotepath but then I have to maintain 6 scripts and I think it can be so much better.

I use CopSSH server for windows 2008R2. I attached the script to the post.

I hope you can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

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

Thanks for your quick response. I've attached the log as requested.

You are missing mirror and criteria arguments in Session.SynchronizeDirectories call.

It should be:

$synchronizationResult = $session.SynchronizeDirectories([WinSCP.SynchronizationMode]::Local, $localPath, $remotePath, $false, $false, [WinSCP.SynchronizationCriteria]::Time, $transferOptions)

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session_synchronizedirectories and
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_library_parameters

Works like a charm my friend! Remind me to buy a beer for you when you are in the Netherlands!

Ps. is there also a way to exclude the creation of i.e. the "ACC" folder so all the XML files (from different source folders) will directly be stored in the "\Output" folder instead within WinSCP? Otherwise I will implement a separate piece of code that will take care of that part.

Anyway.... Many many thanks!

No you cannot have WinSCP flatten the directory structure, if that's what you ask for.
