You can achieve this by unchecking the folder (in this case EXAM 3) which will result in all its content to be skipped as well.

You are correct in saying that it will skip_all_ of the folder's contents. The problem is that if_some_ of the files in the server folder are present in the local folder, it is not possible to select the folder for download and have it skip any filenames that exist and download only the files that are NOT present in the local folder (but ARE present in the server folder). Currently the only options for this behavior are:

1. Download each file that is not present locally individually to the target directory (time consuming).
   OR
2. Individually uncheck each file that has the same name as a local file, but leave the parent folder checked (in this case leave EXAM 3 checked, but uncheck each of the individual files inside the EXAM 3 folder in the download dialog; also time consuming).

Better example: [[br]] [[br]]
Let's say we have a network folder that looks like this:

/dav/FOLDER1
FILE1.TXT
FILE2.TXT
FILE3.TXT

and a local folder that looks like this:

/local/FOLDER1
FILE1.TXT
FILE2.TXT

Now say we choose to download /dav/FOLDER1 to /local/.

In this case the download prompt will come up saying that FILE1.TXT and FILE2.TXT both exist already, and asks what action to take. Unchecking FOLDER1 aborts the download (it will say complete, but report that zero bytes were downloaded successfully).

The proposed "skip" option would simply ignore both FILE1.TXT and FILE2.TXT (preserving the local copy), and only download FILE3.txt to /local/FOLDER1.

Sorry if my original ticket wasn't clear. This function is extremely useful when new files are added to the server daily and need to be copied to the local mirror without overwriting any changes to existing files since they were downloaded or ending up with several renamed copies of the same file.

It's the same concept as merging two local folders on a Windows machine. Windows gives the option of renaming, overwriting, or skipping files, so I'd love to see this functionality in CyberDuck as well :)

Thanks again

The skip option was removed in 2350999. We may want to revert that because of the explanation above.
