# Excluding files and directories

Exclusionary mappings enable you to exclude files and directories from being mapped to a personal server. To exclude a file or directory, precede the mapping with a minus sign (`-`). Whitespace is not allowed between the minus sign and the mapping.

Example: Using a remote spec to exclude files from a personal server

Suppose you’re working on a game project and you don’t need the art files to be local:

    Remote Spec:
            //stream/main/... //my_game/...
            -//stream/main/art/... //my_game/art/...
