Hello everyone, I would like to know how to synchronize some folders with RealTimeSync from a PC (A) to another PC (B) by SFTP, since I have only seen that RealTimeSync is always used with folders located on the same computer.

Thank you

RealTimeSync does not do any syncing. RTS monitors whatever directories you choose, then runs and sync with FreeFileSync. If you are simply using a shared folder, you can use the UNC path or a mapped drive letter. In FFS, you want to choose the local location and the network location and put them in the left/right side for whatever type of sync you want. Once you save that configuration, you can actually click-and-drag that config file onto a RTS window and it will autofill the folders to monitor. The only think you'll have to change is the idle time. Save the RTS config and save it into a startup folder if you want it to run automatically upon login. One RTS detects any changes in a monitored folder, it will run the config you made in FFS.
