Exclude last written/ modified file

I use FFS to transfer data from a data logger (files on SD card and accessible via ftp) onto my PC. The data logger creates a new session file every time it is turned on which means the last session (newest) file is constantly increasing.... This means FFS is constantly transferring the same file if I set a task to synchronize every 30min or so with file size as compare criteria. Is there a way to synchronize all files but the last modified/ newest file within a folder/ drive?

If that last-session file has a name by which it can be discriminated from other files, you may be able to use the Exclude Filter for that purpose.
Probably less convenient: use the time-span capability

Thanks for the reply.
But unfortunately not possible. Filename is made by Date & Session number: 22072501.csv, 22072502.csv, 22072503.csv etc . Here 22072503.csv needs to be excluded.
