Wildcards (* ?) may be used in the filename. If wildcards are used, be sure to specify the Path parameter or the query might take an inordinate amount of time. At least one of the File or Path parameters must be set.
The Size parameter defines the minimum file size criteria in bytes. Any files larger than this value will be listed. The Hours, Minutes and Seconds parameters combine to define how recently the file had to be changed to be listed. These parameters are subtracted from the current time and used to select files based on their LastModified value. At least one of these parameters must be set.
