i tested winscp today for first time - downloaded all files from web server, then purposely changed one file locally, and tried to sync / check for changes using both time and file size as criteria - files were reported as no differences detected. i also setup a script and ran from the command line with same results - no differences detected.

Please read FAQ:

If that does not help, come back.

i tested winscp today for first time - downloaded all files from web server, then purposely changed one file locally, and tried to sync / check for changes using both time and file size as criteria - files were reported as no differences detected. i also setup a script and ran from the command line with same results - no differences detected.

i have sync issue as well

First, try to compare the directories in the GUI visually. Check the timestamps of local and remote file. Is the local file indeed seen as newer by WinSCP?

I remember synchronizing is based on the last modified time
Will it cause the problem if both computer is set in different time zone?

FYI, the local PC is set to (GMT +09:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo
and the remote PC is set to (UTC +08:00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore


Please advise, thank you in advance. :wink:

Below are part of the log file, could anyone help on this?
I couldn't see any mistake from the log file :?

Hi,
Two things came to my mind:

1. To debug use:
WinSCP.com /script=sync.txt /log=Sync.log

Sync.log will contain detailed data of the transfer.

2. With "MDB", do you refer to a database file?
If so, is the database closed? If it's open, you cannot copy the file. If you try to copy while the database is open, and if this succeeds, the copy will not contain the same content as the original.

The changes from the local does not reflect to the server, may i know where is my mistake? Thanks a lot!
