Hi when using syncremotedir or synclocaldir and telling it
to delete files in the target directory structure it seems
to fail if the target directory structure has any files with
READONLY attribute set despite running from an admin account.

Is there any way to force this to be ignored ?

Thanks,

Jim

Before "syncing" you may want to run a command that clears READLONY attribute for all files without changing their dates

Dim pid, number
RunAndWait "attrib -R c:\\path\\*.* /S /D", "", 0, pid

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion - I was obviously aware that I could "work around"
the problem in the manner you specified but I was hoping that - given the
nature of the "sync" commands there would be a way of forcing a file overwrite
by specifying a parameter to the SYNCREMOTEDIR commands.

Perhaps this can be added as an enhancement

I think that would be a good Idea.
