New to FreeFile Sync and I don't understand this dialog.

From my best guess is its trying to say that I have a file from two sources trying to go to one destination. However, that is not the case. The D:\Public does not contain an Autocad folder.

So I have no clue what filters I should add.

FYI: This sync is setup to only write to the FTP, Never to read from.

That's exactly the problem though! The top folder pair in FFS is going to copy 'AcTpCatalog.atc' to "ftp://xxxx/Public/Autocad/Tool Palettes/", which is fine and exactly what you want.
Here's the problem:
The last folder pair, "D:\Public" mirroring to ""ftp://xxxx/Public/", is going to delete 'AcTpCatalog.atc' from "ftp://xxxx/Public/Autocad/Tool Palettes/" because "D:\Public\Autocad\" does NOT exist. The mirror operation is going to see that "D:\Public\Autocad\" does not exist and will then delete "ftp://xxxx/Public/Autocad/" to make the destination mirror the source.

My best guess is you can exclude the "Autocad" folder from that bottom folder pair to avoid this
