Hello,
I'm experiencing some trouble. I'm using freefilesync for a sftp backup job, I've managed to schedule it and everything its ok except one thing: I'm behind a firewall (Little Snitch) and every time the job launches my firewall puts it on hold. This seems to be because the job is not launched by the main application but from some temporary location. Firewall understands this as a new application trying to get to the internet and then all gets on hold. I'm not able to accept the firewall alert because at the time of it I'm already sleeping.
Is there any way to solve this? Anyone had a similar issue?
Thanks

Not sure what the issue is, but as far as FreeFileSync is concerned there are no temporaries involved during execution. Just a launcher to handle MDI, and the main executable.

I uploaded a picture, maybe its an iCal or Automator thing.
Look at the "Established by" section

Every time it launches I get a different "Established by" so the rule wont apply for the complete application.

A Gatekeeper feature called "App Translocation" is causing this:

Thank you, I've kind of solved it by making a general rule to allow any outgoing connections of any process to that url.
