How to specify remote folder (on SFTP server) in Free File Sync

<< < (3/3)

Hmm...when I use pwd on *NIX boxes, I get paths that start with a slash.  It seems like you have shell access -- I don't know if the readlink command is there, but 'readlink -f .' in my home directory gives me a full path (but then, so does 'pwd').

FWIW, I don't know how things are set up elsewhere, but I've often ended up with some paths that start with at least '/home/username' for the default directory I get when connecting via ssh or sftp.

Got it working. It's running right now. When it completes and I can access the right dialog, I'll report the path that worked.

kyrathaba:
...<i>and</i> lost it, because after job ran last night, Win7 rebooted to install updates. Thought I'd saved the config data but ... grrrr...

kyrathaba:
Decided on WinSCP for FTP synch. But if anyone has FreeFileSync sFTP connection string clue, I'm still interested.

kyrathaba:
Aha!

use:

/home/user/public_html/directory
