synchonize issues with filesize

#1 Post by rlodbrok » 19.12.2017, 14:39

Hi,

prio 1
I am connecting to remote folder using this address \\company.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\sites\customer\Operations\Projects\. This works fine. But when i copy files... the size does not match, resulting in "unequal files" - even if [separately calculated] MD5 checksums are matching! When using sync options "checksum" or "content" it does not even calculate the difference if the size on the remote server/drive is different. Please tip us or include another option to recognize files in both folders.

Regards,
Ragnar

prio 3 side note.
renaming files and folders is a bitch when using sync.

Have you checked it in Explorer? What happens if you make the copy operation with Explorer?
Check the Explorer view in both folders: remote and lokal. Are the sizes equal after the copy operation?

Hi,
no the sizes are never equal (however it is copied) but the file content is equal (verified manual and with checksums). My assumed reason for that is that remote remote storage size is calculated because of different block-sizes or something. Having different sizes is just fact, equalizing them (somehow) or focusing on that will probably not help.

In the next release: files with unequal size will be compared by checksum or content - if the appropriate option is active.

hi,
i am assuming you refer to release 767 : Folder - > Synchronize..." same files can be marked as unresolved

I am looking forward to your solution - thanks.
