Working with Inclusion/Exclusion Patterns

Inclusion and exclusion patterns allow you include or exclude all resources which match a defined pattern when transferring data to/from a remote server. This gives you the option of filtering the data you are transferring from your remote server to your project, or vice versa.

Selecting Inclusion/Exclusion Patterns

This procedure describes how to select an inclusion/exclusion pattern which filters your data transfer to/from a remote server. Selecting an inclusion or exclusion pattern can be accessed from the Data Upload Selection dialog or the Data Download Selection dialog. These dialogs appear when Creating a New PHP Project with Remote Server Support, Uploading Folders/Files to a Remote Server, or Downloading Folders/Files from a Remote Server.

Instructions on how to complete a procedure

To select an inclusion/exclusion pattern:

In the Data Download Selection dialog or the Data Upload Selection dialog click Filter Types.
The Inclusion and Exclusion Patterns dialog opens.

In the dialog you can select:

Inclusion Pattern - The patterns you configure will be included in the data transfer.
Exclusion Pattern - The patterns you configure will be excluded from the data transfer.

Select the patterns you would like to apply to your data transfer.
Click Finish to apply and save the changes.
You will be returned to the Data Download Selection or the Data Upload Selection dialog. Any excluded files will now be hidden, while included files are displayed.
