Re: Can I simultaneously Sync a folder to multiple SFTP server destinations?
If your source is e.g. C, and your SFTP destination locations are respectively SFTP_D, SFTP_E and SFTP_F, you can simply define multiple left-right pairs as C => SFTP_D C => SFTP_E C => SFTP_F in a Mirror sync variant. You will get a warning that there is a full or partial overlap between your sync ...

Re: Deleting sync settings
FFS nor RTS never "starts by itself", unless it is placed in the users Autostart folder (assuming Windows), or started as a Scheduled Task. Deleting the *.ffs_batch -file does not change anything, other than that FFS or RTS is not able to find the *.ffs_batch -file and throws an error. Sim...

@murda
> Did you reply to the correct thread?
I did.
But your later reaction regarding the tape library clarified your initial question.
You are really talking about order at file level.
And I am sorry to say that it seems FFS does not have that capability.

Re: Inclusion Filter is re-ordering position
Or said in other words: If you have defined a FFS sync configuration in which the order in which the sync is executed would matter, then you did not define a proper/correct FFS sync configuration. Such improper FFS sync configurations can normally only happen if you have multiple left-right base loc...

Re: RealTimeSync not starting

The prime benefit of using the Task Scheduler over the Autostart folder, is that it allows you to run tasks under different, specified user credentials.

Re: Sync to encryped folder to then sync to the cloud
A couple of years ago I used BoxCryptor for that purpose.
They still exist, and there is even a free version (for personal use).
Check them out.
At least then, it worked perfectly together with FreeFileSync.
