Streamline your upload process by setting up exclusion filters for both files and directories. This powerful feature allows you to specify which items should be skipped during the upload operation. You can exclude specific files based on their names or extensions, and omit entire directories or subdirectories from the upload.
By utilizing wildcard patterns and multiple filter entries, you can create a precise set of rules to ensure that only the desired content is transferred, saving time and bandwidth while maintaining the integrity of your data structure.
