Synchronization Error

I am trying to synchronize my Windows Local folder to a Unix remote folder. Since I am only interested in fresh incoming files on the remote folder I have added a timestamp-10 seconds to ensure for that. Files can be in any subfolder of the set remote folder. WinSCP fails to create error listing and to change (CWD) working directory and look in recursively in subfolders. Please find below the associated log. Thanks!

Remove the /*.*/ and also the square brackets (if you really have them there):
