Compare is reading unnecessary folders/files

[CaptainStarbuck]

I'm setting up a sync from my local Windows8 to a remote SFTP. This is for a one-way update to the remote system. So I don't care what's on the remote system, I just want local updates to overwrite the remote counterpart.

There are three sub-folders in the local folder being synced. There are those folders plus many more in the remote system. The Compare operation is going through all folders/files in the remote system. Why? The sync will only be TO the remote system, so it doesn't matter if there is a top-level folder that doesn't exist locally, and therefore the remote files shouldn't be checked.

To get around this, I modified the filter from Include * to include only the three folders that are there. But this is neither elegant nor functionally desirable.

Perhaps this area can be optimized a bit. HTH

Thanks!
