I'm trying to presuade PHPed to not publish various files. I've found the "Do Not publish files" project property but there are a lot of files that I want to strike. Is there any way to give it directories? I tried Resources/*.*, Resources/, Resources/* and Resources* to tell it not to publish my high-res artwork and suchlike but it ignored my statement.

you'd try Res* or Resouces or anything like that... Slashes won't work...
You can add multiple file/dir masks delimited with semicolons (or colons under Linux), for example Res*;Pigs*;Elefa*

I can't get that to work - it still uploads the directories that I'm attempting to mask.
