Hello !
I need to synchronize (miror mode) a local folder from my desktop to an ftp server. I want it to be automatic and to start with Windows.
Therefore I have created a sync task with FreeFileSync and then I saved it as ffs_batch and finally I replace ffs_batch with ffs_real.
I opened RTS and loaded the ffs_real file. Then I unchecked moitoring of the ftp server folder.
When I clic the start button it works fine.
However, when I create a shortcut in Windows Start Menu with argument "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe" "C:\Users\...\miror_task_ftp.ffs_real" it does not work, because monitoring of ftp server folder is active again.
What did I wrong ?
How can I make permanent the desactivation of monitoring of the ftp server folder ?
Thank you fir your help.

You should save the RTS configuration after removing (unchecking) the FTP location, and invoke that saved RTS configuration in your Windows Start Menu.
