Sync local trying to go the wrong direction

2011-05-18 20:34

I have a scripted sync that is giving me trouble.

The script connects fine and will do other operations fine (ls, lls, get).

However when I use the synchronize local command I get odd behavior.

Here's what I have scripted:

option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer
lcd c:\Windows\Batch\LibDrupal-From-libwebmirror\
cd /var/www/libdrupal
synchronize local

Here's what I get back in the log file:

Everything looks ok up to the last 2 lines or so. It reads the remote directory, tries to synchronize, but then all of a sudden it tries to synchronize from the local directory out to the remote instead. The local directory is empty, so it does nothing and then quits.

This works fine in the gui by the way. ANd it works fine if I do a "get" instead of a "synchronize local"

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

The message "Synchronizing local directory 'A' with remote directory 'B'" has nothing to do with a direction. The direction is specified by the mode = 1. Problem is that you have "existing only" option enabled (in the GUI).

So I'm a bit confused. Do I need to set this up as a profile in the GUI and then save it before I run this?

Or is there a command line switch I should be using to change "mode 1" to some other mode? And what would that mode be?

Thanks.

OK. I did a manual sync using the gui, unchecking "existing only" and then saving the session. No issues, everything as expected.

Then I deleted a couple of files on the local side and ran the command line script. It goes through the comparisons for each file and directory and then comes back with "nothing to sync".

Is this a caching issue of some sort perhaps?

Thanks.

If you run GUI, do you see the option unchecked initially now?

When I open the saved gui session, the direction defaults correctly to "local" but the "Existing Files Only" box remains checked.

Have you checked the Use same options next time on Synchronize dialog?

I did not have that checked, so I did a manual sync in the GUI, checked "Use same options next time" and then saved that session. That seems to be working. Thanks for your help!
