Error creating folder on target

Post by stanw41 »

Syncovery version: 10.13.4
Source: Windows 10 data drive (e:/)
Target: TrueNas 13.x) share access over SFTP

I just upgraded Syncovery and imported the settings (.ini) making some adjustments to fit my new windows machine (e.g., changing drive letter) and adjusting credentials (e.g., renaming keys). I can access the target but when I try to create a new folder the browsing window closes and the target path becomes: (it is a public IP so I don't know whether it is worth masking it :lol: )
sftp://xxx.107.151.103/**BTN1**

The share is accessible with Filezilla and i can create a folder.

Any input would be appreciated!

Hello,

Thanks that now works.
It misses the other half -- deleting a folder on the target (at minimum). My new "test" folder on the target needs deleting and the program doesn't offer a pathway to do this. :shock:

Hi,
yes that's true, you need a standalone FTP client for that (aka FileZilla).

Syncovery is more like an automation tool. Of course it can delete folders too, if you use an Exact Mirror job from a source to a destination, and the destination contains a folder that the source does not.

Is this perhaps a feature that could be included in future versions? From time to time I need to test - so create a folder or find I've got a typo in a file name. It would be ideal to be able to handle this within the GUI rather than moving to another program to fix it.
