Re: Saving settings in synchronize and keepuptodate?

With some effort you can use include/exclude masks for that and store each set into different transfer settings preset.

Thanks. I am using invoking multiple instances of winscp at login (calling a script) to set up multiple monitor jobs. Less often I need to run a full synchronise. I could again just set up multiple shortcuts to get WinSCP to do this using command line options or a script, one for each sync job, but it would just be nice to be able to do that from within the WinSCP GUI, just selecting from a whole bunch of pre-saved sync jobs to run.

Cheers,

Tried using different instances of the program to monitor each folder; I know it sounds a bit overkill but the program uses minimal system resources so shouldn't be an issue.
Could always try scripting multiple file locations into a text file and calling it that way maybe???

Hope the ideas help.
