Ignore file(s)

Select and specify the files to ignore. Macros are allowed in this field.

Special wildcard characters:

• Asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters in that position in the filename.
• Question mark (?) matches one character at that position in the filename.

  You can use multiple wildcard characters in a single mask.

  Examples:

• x*.rpt matches x.rpt, x1.rpt, and xyz.rpt. It does not match xyz.rp or zz.rpt
• a?rpt matches a1.rpt and aQ.rpt It does not match a.rpt or a1.rp

  If you want the task to wait until all filetypes in the mask are available from the source, also select Retry if No Files Found.

Collect only new files

Selects only new files from the remote server.

Expand zip files

Uncompresses any files that end in the extension .zip.

Retry if no files found

Selected: If the previous directory listing was successful but resulted in no matching files, the task times out and retries the directory listing. The retry count and retry timeout are used.

You can set this feature to wait for a file to appear during the running of a task, If the maximum number of retries is reached and no matching files are found, the task continues with the next step, with no error flagged.

Not selected: A directory listing that returns no files is not retried, and no files are downloaded from the source.
