Field Description Values Default
File Manifest Set to text to generate a text file "receipt" of all
files within each transfer session. Set to disable to
not create a File Manifest. The file manifest is a file
containing a list of everything that was transferred
in a given transfer session. The filename of the File
Manifest itself is automatically generated based on the
transfer session's unique ID. The location where each
manifest is written is specified by the File Manifest
Path value. If no File Manifest Path is specified, the
file will be generated under the destination path at the
receiver, and under the first source path at the sender.

File Manifest Path Specify the location to store manifest files. Can be an
absolute path or a path relative to the transfer user's
home.
Note: File manifests can only be stored locally. Thus, if
you are using S3, or other non-local storage, you must
specify a local manifest path.

File Manifest Suffix Specify the suffix of the manifest file during file
transfer.

File Filter Pattern List Exclude or include files and directories with the
specified pattern in the transfer. Add multiple entries
for more inclusion/exclusion patterns. To specify
an inclusion, start the pattern with '+ ' (+ and a
whitespace). To specify an exclusion, start the pattern
with '- ' (- and a whitespace). Two symbols can be used
in the setting of patterns:
• A "*" (asterisk) represents zero to many characters
in a string. For example, *.tmp matches .tmp
and abcde.tmp.
• A "?" (question mark) represents a single character.
For example, t?p matches tmp but not temp.
For details on specifying rules, see Using Filters to
Include and Exclude Files on page 126.
This option applies only when the server is acting as
a client. Servers cannot exclude files or directories
uploaded or downloaded by remote clients.
