Under "Advanced" - "Only delete top-level FTP folders" is unchecked but please elaborate on the List part of this (selective transfer do you mean?)
For example please tell me what I should put as a mask - you said "-a" but what else? do I include the "_vti_cnf" there too? and what about the Include - Exclude etc...
Sorry to appear dim but i would like to be certain before I commit this change to my site - dont want to make any costly mistakes in haste as the next site I want to remove these files from is my main commercial site:
www.day-you-were-born.co.uk and any downtime there would cost me dearly...
Maybe a screenshot will not only help me but others in my position.
Cheers - Nik.
