Download from FTP to disk with exclude - possible?

Post by gregoryk »

Hi
I copy files via FTP (download files) to the hard drive.
Is it possible to exclude one directory from copying?
e.g. /public_html/wp-content/uploads

If I remember it correctly, simple masks can be used when downloading from remote servers.

/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2019
/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020
/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2021
/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2022
but
but I want to make copies from the current year:
/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2023
