Re: Unwanted deletion of remote files

Hi Doug,

First of all, thanks for your replies and suggestions. I know that ignore 
and exclude "should" do what I want, but they don't succeed in actually 
doing it, as far as I can tell. For example, see the configuration I 
posted, where files in explicitly excluded directories were scheduled for 
deletion by Sitecopy. Either I'm abusing sitecopy in some way that isn't 
clear from the documentation, or it's a bug in sitecopy (IMHO).

That would be nice, but not essential.

I understand that this appears to be a limitation in sitecopy at the 
moment, but not one that is inherent to the protocol (wget can do it), and 
I think it would be a very useful feature to support.

Cheers, Chris.
