Hello!

I need to not include some folders when creating the artifacts, but I'm having some trouble figuring out how.
I tried the skip_dirs, but it seemed to include the folder anyway.

E.g:
skip_dirs: \\mysite\\plugins

I've used appveyor.yml file to configure the CI.
The deploy I'm trying to use is FTP deploy.

   You could use 7z.exe to package only required files and then push archive to artifacts.

   But won't that create multiple zip files for each folder?

   I can probably just copy the files into their own folder with a power shell script.

   I mean one zip file per folder*

   You can put multiple folders into the same archive using 7z.
