FTP leading to delete/copy again?

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

FTP leading to delete/copy again?

Post by mulanee »

Hello,
For whatever reason, the biggest directory I need to mirror is created each time, spending almost one hour, for comparison and new copy.
Distant access is reachable by FTP, maybe it is the reason why he wants to create as new each time, when the comparison is showing dates as 00:00:00 for example.
I don't see any other option than FTP like smb or nfs, is it possible?
Thank you.

I have a perhaps related issue - when mirroring from an ftp site to the local hard drive, Syncback Free insists on copying every file, including those that haven't changed. It does this even if I tell it to ignore differences in time/date.

Is there any way to persuade it to NOT copy files which are unchanged since the last sync? I feel like I must be missing something obvious.
