Please, help me with the new feature - SFTP sync. I don't see any new button with SFTP label. When i try to write manually something like "sftp://10.95.5.247/data" or "sftp:root:password@10.95.5.247/data", FreeFileSync writes: "Cannot find the following folders: "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\sftp:\10.95.5.247\data". I am using FreeFileSync on Windows XP and on Mac OS X Yosemite - result is the same on both OS. I tried version 7.2 and even 7.3 beta (Build 07.07.2015). I don't know, how stupid can i get, what i'm doing wrong? I looked for the same problem in the viewforum.php?f=8, but did not find anything.

Please, teach me, how i can use this new (very useful) feature.
Thank you very much!

FFS supports SFTP only for Win Vista or later.

Yes, however for Linux and OS X there's an alternative SFTP solution using "sshfs" (described in the help file).

Thank you very much, i shall try it certainly. FFS is an excellent tool, so the good news that it supports cloud services.
