# Excludes, ASCII, and Ignores

Chances are that while you're editing html locally, things like backup files will get created. While useful, it's likely you don't want them uploaded to your remote web site. The excludes section allows you to specify glob patterns (see the fnmatch(3) and glob(7) man pages). Any files on the local site matching these expressions will be ignored by XSitecopy.

For example my excludes consist of:

- *.bak

- core

- oldweb

because I don't want any backups or core dumps uploaded. I also have a sub-directory on my local site called 'oldweb' which I keep for nostalgic purposes only. This is not uploaded by specifying it as 'an exclude'.
