Simple File Transfer by Name using filemasks(Sync Local)
I've looked through the docs but I have to be missing something. I'm not trying anything in-depth, I just want to only download from the remote side based on the file name if it's not on the local machine (sync local). I don't believe I am using filemasks correctly. In this example I would have multiple new files that begin with the string
Here is what I have:
Simply put, if I had 5 new files beginning with the string
*side note, when I run it - it does connect fine, and it will download, but it is not downloading specific files based on names starting with
test
in (/home/user/Complete/
). I would want to sync locally (C:\Users\User\Desktop
) any new files that begin with test
from that server.
Here is what I have:
option batch abort option confirm off open scp://username:password@x.x.x.x synchronize local -filemask="test*.*" C:\Users\User\Desktop /home/user/Complete/ exit
test
I would like them to download from the Complete
folder to the Desktop
folder locally when the script is ran.
*side note, when I run it - it does connect fine, and it will download, but it is not downloading specific files based on names starting with
test
. Right now there are folders in that Complete
directory and it will download/sync just the folders (empty) + the files I wanted. Can I negate it with a flag from trying to download the empty folders?
