Hello everyone, I want to copy data from a local folder to an FTP folder.
There's a small feature I can't configure: if a file is deleted on the FTP server, I don't want it to be copied again. Is this possible? Thanks a lot !
Have e nice day

Best AI answer i could find:
FreeFileSync does not natively track deletions on the remote (server) side if they occur outside of FreeFileSync (e.g., manual deletion, server script, or other tool).
If you don’t use the sync database, then on the next sync, FreeFileSync will think the file is “missing” on the server and try to upload it again.
If the server gets wiped or restored from backup, it may cause massive re-uploads unless database-based sync is used.

You will want to use the "update" method and check the box to use a database file
