We will see, if more people ask for this.
OK.
Would you like me to re-post it in feature requests - or move it - or - something. Just so that it's noted, and added as feature request #32768
Many thanks
It's not a bug. It behaves as implemented.
It can be improved, no doubt.
Using the regular interface I drag/drop folders onto remote SFTP directory. I have it configured for a maximum of 9 file copy "threads". I get ~95Mbps transfer. (taking about 28hrs to complete my regularly updated files). 95Mbps is saturating my internet upload link to 100% - perfect!
Using the "Keep Remote Directory up to date" option I only get ~15Mbps - presumably because it's only transferring files using 1 file copy thread. (which would take 1 week! to complete)
This has to be a bug/design flaw?
Surely the "Keep Remote Directory" option should just feed the updated file sync requests to the main WinSCP background file handler, which would obey all the options such as "Maximal number of transfers".
ps. Using the normal file handler would also display much better file stats - currently when "Keep Remote Directory" is in use, the tiny log window displayed is utterly useless. It cannot be resized or scrolled as the modal info dialog box in front of it prevents access. All I ever see is a timestamp and the first half of a files directory path - completely pointless.
Many thanks
