I apologize for not replying sooner. I somehow missed this.

If I understand correctly, you want WinSCP, while synchronizing files, to synchronize timestamps of their parent directories. As of now, WinSCP only sets directory timestamps, when uploading a new directory, not when adding (or otherwise updating) files in an existing directory.

I'll see if more people ask for this.

Yes to all.

As you can see in the "Sync Results" screenshot, all timestamps of new symlinked folders are correctly set, but the timestamp of the "old" non-symlinked "Missions" folder has not been set correctly.

Did you have the Preserve timestamp > Including directories checked? Can you attach a log file showing that?

Without the escape "\" character, the folder "Ubuntu" is correctly excluded from the sync.

Regarding "Ubuntu", I have deleted afterwards all synced folders inside it, hence the modified timestamp.
It has been synced despite the excluded filter mask.
I'll try again with a different mask, without the escape character.

Also "filter mask" screenshot and log in next post.
BTW, why limit the number of file uploads to 3?
