Changes are overwritten by older file

Postby technokid on Tue Mar 02, 2010 11:33 pm

I am using Real Time Synchroniztion between a share on the server and a users laptop. Whenever someone on the network (they are not using sffs) makes a change to a file on the share and saves it, it gets overwritten by the sync'd file on the users laptop changing it back to how it was before the change was made.

Scenerio; User (A) has SFFS setup to sync a company folder on the server to his laptop so he can work on files in the evening and have it sync'd to the network the next time he logs into the network. While User (A) is on the network User (B) opens a file on the network that is in the folder that get sync'd to User (A). User (B) makes changes, saves and closes the file. User (B) opens the file again and discovers that the file is exactly how it was before the changes were made.

To test this I disable the profile and made changes and the changes were kept. I then enabled the profile, made changes and the changes were overwritten.

The profile is setup:
Network Share is on the left, the users folder on the laptop is on the right. Copy Direction is Left to Right & Right to Left. Smart Tracking is turned on. Real Time Synchroniztion is checked under the Monitoring / Real-Time Sync tab.

Have I missed a setting?


Thanks

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this?

Hello,

have you tried the latest update version 4.89? It could be a bug that was fixed recently.
