BuildMaster - FTP - How to include or exclude a file type

Question

Is there a way to exclude a file? I would like to exclude all *.config files. Everything else should be included.

Or if I could say include: *.aspx, *.ascx, *.xml, *.png, *.gif, *.html that would be fine.

To quote what Tod said in this forum post:

I'm not sure the component we use to FTP supports negated wildcards, but you can simply add a Delete Files action before this that operates on *.config

Alternatively (if you don't want to delete because you may re-use the files), you can use the Synchronize/Transfer Files action to a temporary directory (e.g. ~\Ftp) and use a !*.config mask on that to not transfer the configs, then use the FTP action from ~\Ftp as the source directory.
