Folder Compare - Confirmation Message

[hel10z]

Hello All,

I have scheduled task which runs at 12:00AM every night.

Basically it compares our client data on our website with the data on our local server.

I have it to only download changed and new files.

The problem i have is that if a file exists, it asks me" This file exists, do you want to overwrite it" which i do since it has changed but i dont know how to do this and i have searched in help and in the forums.

The script i use is below:

#log the script
log verbose append:"C:\xampp\_data\client_data\%date%-XML.log"

#set the comparison criteria

criteria timestamp size

#load source and target

load create:right "ftp://username:password@ftp.www.website.com/_data" "C:\xampp\_data\client_data\%date%"

#filter to only include source files, ignore CVS subfolders
#filter "*.htm;*.html;*.php;*.jpg;*.gif;-CVS\"
#
#NO FILTERS APPLIED - SYNC ALL FILES
#

#Sync the files from Swebsite.com/_data to localserver.

sync create-empty mirror:lt->rt

So can this be done to add overwrite command so that i dont have to say Yes To All every day.

:)

Cheers

Helio

The OPTION command should solve this:

Thanks Dave

I have added that to my script and will give it a test tonight.

Thanks

Hello,

That didn’t work for me unfortunately

I have added a few screen caps of the message and part of my script.

I think the OPTION command should precede the SYNC command.

The option command should be at the topmost part of your script file. That way, all following dialogs, when encountered, have the option set to Yes-To-All.

Thanks for the help, Dave. :)
