Hi,

I have the paid version of AndFTP. I have an entry with a local dir and a remote dir, and I've set it to automatically sync each morning. However, it doesn't work. If I manually go to sync, it lists the files that it should sync, but when I select 'Proceed' it just says Local files uploaded 0/2 (or however many should have been uploaded) then lists the files in red.
If I connect, select the files to upload, and select 'Upload files' then it transfers the files correctly, with no problem - but I really want the automated sync to work. Is there any way I can try to track down why it doesn't upload the files with the sync option?

Thanks.

Could you try to update to AndFTP 3.1? If it stll fails could you provide a testing FTP account so we could reproduce the problem? You can send it to support(at)lysesoft(dot)com

Hi,

I set up a test account, but as I was checking to make sure it exhibited the same problem, I discovered that it worked. Checking the differences in settings between the working account and the non-working one, I found that for the 'sync' option to work, the remote dir MUST be a full path. Manual uploads work with a relative path, but when syncing it doesn't. I've added '/home/phonebackup/' in front of the remote dirs, and it now works.

Please consider adding more useful messages when things fail, though. I'm sure this could have been easier to resolve!

Thanks,
