duck sftp: file filters and --synchronize command for downloading files

[zippyppiz]

Hi,

I am using duck for sftp on a Mac Studio. I execute duck from a shell script via cron. I have successfully connected to the site and can download files using the --synchronize command; below is a simplified command line in a terminal window:

duck .... --synchronize sftp://abcd.com /Users/..../data

The data I want to download is in several folders on the sftp site. The above works perfectly except it downloads everything from all the folders. I want to use filters like the following. For example, download data from folder "xyz" and store on local folder "xyz":

duck .... --synchronize sftp://abcd.com/xyz/*.csv.zip /Users/..../data/xyz

The connection is successful and it looks like it will download, but it doesn't. I know there are files with "*.zip" extensions on the sftp site. It appears that I can't use a file filter while using the --synchronize command.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Donald
