Cannot set modification date and time for file on FTP server

SyncBackFree is the freeware version of SyncBack. It is *not* an evaluation version of SyncBackPro/SE.

Cannot set modification date and time for file on FTP server

Post by yardstudio »

Hello,

I am using NAS ASUSTOR ftp server and all is ok, FTPS working, files are copied, bud everytime I got error:
Cannot set modification date and time for file on FTP server
And second question: :?: I wish safe files on NAS before overwritten if once was copied successfully (ransomware safety), how I need setup SyncBack? I wish skipp copy not only if files are the same, but I need place only first copy and then leave it as is, independent of source changes

Many thanks for help

To fix the 'Cannot set modification date' error on your ASUSTOR NAS, you can check if your FTP server allows timestamp changes and use passive mode in SyncBack. For ransomware safety, enable versioning to keep old file versions and set 'If file exists' to 'Skip' to avoid overwriting. Test the setup with a few files to ensure it works as desired.
