Hello,

we use FFS in many cases. This was a really helpful application! Thanks for this.

I have two feature-requests related to FFS.

1. Delete after synchronisation

It was be helpful if FreeFileSync was be able to delete source files after successfully synchronization. In my case files should be deleting if it was successfully downloaded from the source SFTP-server.

2. alternative database-file-location

actually the database-files was stored on each side in the root directory. In single cases it's necessary that these database-files are stored on different locations and not in the root-sync-directories. Because subsequent processes are interrupting if they found this hidden filles.

Maybe the database file can be store on local disk or on a network drive.

Thank you and kind regards

Ad 1)
Deleting source files after successful synchronization is no synchronization, but a (safe) move.
As FFS is a synchronization tool, don't expect this request to be added any time soon (if at all).
Ad 2)
See viewtopic.php?t=7469
and viewtopic.php?t=10616#p40283
But also note the workaround referred to in the latter linked reply.
