How Do I Tell FP to Ignore a Directory on the Remote Server?

[jim evans]

I have a directory I want to maintain independently using FTP. It is
a subdirectory on my main website. How can I remove it from the
things FP looks at?

Making it into a subweb will not do what I need to do. I need to make
FP ignore this directory entirely,

Make it a subweb. FP will ignore it when you publish to the root web.

If you do not want to make the folder a subweb - just mark it 'Do Not
Publish'. FP will ignore it when publishing.

If your version of FP does not allow you to select folders for 'Do Not
Publish' [only files by right mouse click] use a FP add in called 'Selective
Publish' from http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx

Hope this helps.

FP will not publish files marked as "Do not publish", but FP will
attempt to delete files on the remote web that do not exist on the
local web, unless you *always* publish using All files.
The only way to ignore a folder when using FP, is to make it a subweb.

there is/ was an add-in that would allow you to set "do not publish" on a
folder by folder basis here:

Yes and no. The addin sets every file within the folder to Do not
publish, not the folder itself. but when publishing local to remote
"changed pages only", FP will still ask to delete those files in that
folder that are on the remote site if they are not also on the local
site. The OP intends to maintain the folder with FTP.
