Hi everybody,

I tried to transfer some sub-folders (with files) by adding them (with trailing "\") to the "Filter/Include" list and just put a "*" to the "Exclude" list.
But with that it does not transfer anything!??

How can I do this? I want to only include that subfolders (and their files and sub-sub-folders) and to exclude everything else?

I found the solution myself: just keep the "Exlude" list empty instead of putting a star in it... ;-)

Simply replace the "*" in the Include Filter by the relative path to the folder you want to Include.
Alternatively, run a Compare in the FFS GUI, select the folder you want to include and then right-click on that folder and select to add that folder to the Include Filter.
