List Command Filter Tutorial?

Postby Dan55 » Tue May 05, 2009 10:39 am

There is not much documentation on the 'List Command Filter' in the 'Ftp Account Manager' box.
I get the impression it is like the Unix 'ls' command.
I can get it to display all files that start with 'A' with the command "A*".

What I really need is to exclude all files that start with a specific character.
In my case, I need to exclude all files that start with the underscore character '_'.
Any ideas or help?

I am using Version 15.00.0.1033

Thanks

First I recommend strongly to update to currently latest version because your version has many serious bugs.

Second I never opened a file via FTP, but you can select on the Advanced tab in the FTP account manager dialog between Remote - Use LIST command and Local - Perl regular expressions. Select Perl and use [^_].+ as filter string. I can only hope that this works.
