Optimize your download process with comprehensive exclusion filters for both files and directories. This versatile functionality enables you to define which items should be omitted when retrieving data.
You can exclude individual files based on their names or types, and skip entire folders or nested directory structures. By leveraging wildcard patterns and multiple filter entries, you can craft a specific set of exclusion rules that matches your requirements.
This ensures that you download only the necessary content, conserving storage space and reducing transfer time while maintaining the desired file and directory structure.

Notes
- All filenames, directory names, and wildcard patterns are treated as case-insensitive.
- Exclude filters take precedence over include filters. If a file or directory matches both an include and an exclude pattern, it will be excluded from the operation.
