I synced three text files from my Mac to unix host. The unix server timed
out after the
second file copied but before the third one completed, resulting in a zero
lenth copy
of the file being left on the server. Guess what happend when I tried re-
syncing?
Yep, I missed the fact that the change in the direction of the
upload/download arrow
and wrote that zero byte file over the original one on my Mac.
Call pilot error if you want. Call it a feature. But it's really really
nasty and I've just
lost shed load of work because of it. Maybe it would be a good idea to
remember if
the last sync failed and not reverse the sense of the copy without
confirmation.
Sorry, but I'm going back to raw scp :-(
/S.
