Hi,

I read your thread on the archives, but you have another problem than me:
for you sitecopy has to retrieve the data on the server, for me not.

I think an option (i would call it "nevertouch") is very simple to
implement: just if a file match a pattern, *never* do *anything* with it,
that's all.

My problem is not that sitecopy does not enough, my problem is that
sitecopy does too much.

I hope this makes the problem a bit more clear.

Willem.
