Transferring Files and Folders 

Filtering Transfers 

CuteFTP allows you to set filters that automatically include or exclude files from transfer so 

you don t have to manually. You define the filters in the filter dialog box, then apply them to 

individual transfers, or use them on all transfers. You can also use filters during folder 

synchronizations.

or excluded along with the folder.

OTES

You can configure two filter sets: one for the local pane, and one for the remote 

pane. Note that CuteFTP applies the filter parameters to all of the contents, 

directories, and subdirectories displayed in that pane. 

Filtering works with folder synchronizing.  

You can filter by file extensions, for example, .htm, .php, .asp., etc.
