Re: Folders ending with a dot "." give error
Confirmed. Even if you manually add the . to the directory name, still not recognized. Even a UNC path, \\?\C:\TMP\BRU\dir_dot., which seems like it would work, then fails when it attempts to write the sync.ffs_lock file. Now you could thwart that too, but then I'd suspect when it gets to the actual...

Re: Upload updated files to ftp server without scanning remote ftp server
If no checking needs to be done on the remote end, why not upload to an empty temporary directory on the remote? There will be nothing to check against, so no scanning to be done (on the remote). Now, you'd have to know what on the source end has changed, & only upload those. After the files are...

Re: How to create an exclusion to the default compare selection.
As the (shown) files are tiny, & if that holds for the entire compare (all files being relatively small), why not change to a Content compare (which on small files should still be speedy).

Re: Many errors when backing up Mac OS
I would think it not to be expected that a file backup program would back up an entire OS, & in particular the OS system files themselves, & certainly not in any bootable fashion (such that you can restore to some saved OS state), if that is your intention.

Oh, so you're saying that when (alpha) SORTING the list of names leading/trailing spaces are ignored,
such that all the X-files are grouped together, & all the S-files are grouped together.
