Acrosync is uploading Dirs thats excluded

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed Acrosync to continous syncing directories from my local server to the internet.
The program worked fine for two whole days :)
Now it's uploading also the dirs that i excluded. 

This is how I want it:
I got maps called "Private" that i don't want to upload
And i want upload only the files starting with a "_" 

Zo in the "Sync only these files/dirs" I putted: _*
And in the "Don't sync these files/dirs" I putted: Private/

But it don't work! It worked for two days and now it's uploading also the Private directories

Please help

  • Which version of Acrosync is this?  Windows, Mac, or iOS?

    Windows, Sorry!
  • Change your exclude pattern to '/Private' (without quotes) to see if this works.
  • I tested everything. The one thing i didn't noticed is that the name of the map is 1_Private.
    So i tested

    1_Private
    /1_Private
    /1_Private/
    *Private*
    1_Private/*
    *_Private

    None of the above worked.

  • Do you have one '1_Private' directory or many of them?

    I used '/1_Private' in my test and no '_*' files under it got uploaded; however, an empty '1_Private' directory did appear on the server side.


  • this bug has been fixed in the latest version:


    Please let us know if it works. 
  • Running latest version (0.94 from WindowsXP), there does not appear to be any way to prevent it from walking subtrees.  In other words, if I have Windows folders named
       c:/.../foo
       c:/.../foo/bar
       c:/.../foo/baz
    I specify that only files of '*.txt" are to be synched
    and "foo" and "bar" contain several such files each, I get the txt files in foo, a directory for bar, the txt files in foo/bar, and an empty folder for baz. 

    I really just want the txt files in foo.  I'd like bar and baz to be ignored entirely, ideally without enumerating them because there are actually a lot of subfolders in foo and the number changes.    I tried putting "./*" in the "Don't sync" list but that has no effect.

    Any way to do this?

  • '/foo/*.txt' should do it.

  • EIther "no" or "I don't understand your suggestion".

    If I specify "c:" in the "local directory" field and "/syncstuff/*.txt" in "Only sync these files/dirs"  , I get nothing, despiite c:\syncstuff containing several files with extensions ".txt" (and two-facet names).  If I specify either \syncstuff\*.txt" or "syncstuff\*txt" (either of which would seem natural given that "local" is a Windows environment, the target system gets empty directories corresponding to all of  the folders in "c:\"

    There are probably some other combinations possible, but I'm having trouble getting to an understanding of what is supposed to work.

    Suggestions or documentation pointers would be appreciated.

    (Windows 7 Pro 64; Acrosync 0.94 build 391)

  • I tested it and it worked fine.  In my test, there are several text files scattered under different sub-directories within the local directory (which is AcrosyncTest/test under Documents which probably doesn't matter).  When I specified '/dir1/*.txt' in 'Only sync these files/dirs', only the text files under 'dir1' got uploaded and nothing else.

    This quick guide has a section talking about include/exclude patterns.
