Copy File (include folders)

[abcdetech]

I have this folder structure:

source\A1
source\C2
.....
source\XYZNNNNNNN

I want to copy just certain folders which I want to specify in Include. Everything else should be excluded.

For example,
I want to copy just two folders: source\A1 and source\C2

all other folders source\NNNNN should not be copied.

thanks

Specify a Source folder of source and Include of

/A1
/C2

and check Copy subdirectories.

I did it exactly like you said. But it also copies all folders which I don't want to be copied.

/A1
/B2
/C3

and everything else got copied. I though it will exclude everything else what is not included in Include.

I'm not sure -- the attached project works as expected:
