Hint: Watch your text case when in command mode.

Post by maurert »

(1.3c build 1447.6)

I'm doing an inital upload of directories manually using the GUI. Then I'm using a command mode .BAT to keep the directories in sync.

When using the GUI with "drag&drop" the destination directory automatically gets the correct name. No problems there.

In command mode a source directory spec of "/konabear" will find either "/konabear" AND it will find "/Konabear".

But here's the important part.

If "/konabear" is specified, and
If "/Konabear" is found, and
If there is no -p,
Then the output tree will be rooted with "/konabear"

So I'd uploaded /Konabear with the GUI (50GB) and my .bat specified /konabear, so my .bat started uploading the entire 50GB all over again!
