Exclude some subfolders and the subfolders of the excluded subfolder

Q: Exclude subfolders and the subfolders of the excluded subfolder. I’m connecting to a FTP site, looking through the folders for any files older than 28 days but I want to exclude some sub-folders and the sub-folders of the excluded folder.

My current ‘Directory Filter’ setup doesn’t seem to work:

My current ‘Dir Name’ Exclude filter:

Limagito File Mover Directory name exclude filter

I also changed the Directory Filter Setup – Advanced – Exclude Complete Invalid SubDirs hoping it would skip the sub folders of the GRAPHICS PURGE folder.

Limagito Team: “Reason, SubDir Search Mode (WIN) is for WIN as source only”

But in the log file we see the ‘GRAPHICS PURGE’ folder and its subfolder BUL are not being excluded.

 

Limagito Team:

It is possible to achieve this but you’ll need to add some extra ‘Dir Name Exclude’ Filters, leave the ones you already had.
