Error 553 Prohibited file name

ian clarke · Post by **ian clarke** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:30 pm

I am trying to sync files on my local drive to a FTP site. All works except for the date mismatch problem. If I turn on "Create list files" to overcome the date problem, I get an error and it appears that when Synch tries to write the $7list7$.txt file, it forgets to use the file name!!

Here is a log of the session with the error on the last line.

Am I doing something wrong? Can I change the filename somewhere?

Thank you, I will check what could be a problem. Doesn't "Change local file time" mode help you?

If I use change local file time, that does get around the problem but I really want to keep the original time/date stamps on the local files as this is very useful.

Is there somewhere that the file name "$7list7$.txt" is defined e.g. should it be an entry in the wndsync.ini file?

No, it's hardcoded
