Source — FTP / SFTP / FTPS

Configure an FTP, SFTP, or FTPS server folder as the Source for a task.

FTP Server

FTP path
The full path to the FTP server directory where Source files are located. This should be the path from the server's root, excluding the server address.

Example: /ftp/in/data/

Connect via account
Select the appropriate FTP account from the drop-down list. Press Configure to open the FTP Accounts manager where you can create and configure accounts.

Subfolders

Process subfolders
When checked (default), all subfolders within Source — and their contents — are included in the task. When unchecked, all subfolders and their contents are completely ignored.
Included subfolders
A list of subfolders to include within the task scope. Subfolder paths are relative to the Source root, separated by semicolons. Spaces in paths do not require quotes.
Excluded subfolders
A list of subfolders to exclude from the task scope — the inverse of Included subfolders.

File Filters

Primary filter
Distinguishes files by their status relative to the previous Source snapshot:
  • No filtering — all files are in scope.
  • Incremental — new and changed files only.
  • Decremental — deleted files only.
  • Mirroring — new, changed, and deleted files.
Optional filters
Filter by filename mask (wildcards and regex supported):
  • Include the listed files only — only matching files are in scope.
  • Exclude the listed files — matching files are excluded from scope.
  • Further filter by date and size — additionally filter files by date (older than / not older than) and size (less than / equal / greater than). A file must satisfy all configured parameters.
