# DirectoryFileAttributeIgnoreFilter

The `DirectoryFileAttributeIgnoreFilter` parameter limits the files that are retrieved. The connector ignores files that have the specified attributes.

The value of this parameter is a bitwise OR. The possible values are platform-specific.

If you are retrieving files from a Windows platform, use the value `1` for read-only, `2` for hidden, `2048` for compressed. For more information about the possible values, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg258117%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

If you are retrieving files from UNIX platforms, the possible values are the `st_mode` return values from the `stat` function. If you set `DirectoryFileAttributeIgnoreFilterUseLStat=true`, the possible values are the `st_mode` return values from the `lstat` function.
