Hi, in OS X some folders contain an Icon\r file. Indeed there is a newline a the end of the filename. These files are created by certain applications that are using a custom Icon for a directory / folder. I found more information about this issue in the following topic: apple.stackexchange.com forward-slash questions/31867/what-is-icon-r-file-and-how-do-i-delete-them

FreeFileSync is not able to sync these Icon\r files to a remote FTP server. Is this a known issue?

I created a workaround in "Filter" by setting a minimum file size of 1 Byte. These Icon\r files are 0 bytes so in this case it is easy to discriminate them.
