Symbolic Link Error

Get help for specific problems

Anonymous

I enabling copying and traversing symbolic links in FreeFileSync. I then added
a symbolic link to the sync directory. It is a soft link, created with only a
/D switch. When I sync, I get an error. I am using Windows 7. I have tried
setting CopyFileSymlinks and TraverseDirectorySymlinks to false, but that
didn't change anything. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to run FreeFileSync
as an administrator somehow? Thanks for your help.


This is the error I'm getting:
"Error copying symbolic link:
"source folder" ->
"destination folder"

Windows Error Code 1314: A required privilege is not held by the client. "

Copying/creating Symbolic Links requires Admin rights.
