Conflict Detection and Resolution

FTP Synchronizer provides intelligent conflict detection to handle situations where files have been modified on both sides since the last sync.

When the same file has been modified both locally and remotely, FTP Synchronizer detects this conflict and helps you resolve it according to your preferences. This prevents accidental data loss and ensures you maintain control over your synchronization process.

Conflict Scenarios:

• Both Sides Modified - File updated locally and remotely
• Timestamp Conflicts - Same modification times, different content
• Size Mismatches - Files with same name but different sizes
• Deletion Conflicts - File deleted on one side, modified on other

Resolution Options:

• Skip Conflicts - Don't sync conflicting files
• Overwrite Remote - Use local version
• Overwrite Local - Use remote version
• Prompt for Action - Manually decide each conflict
• Rename Conflicts - Keep both versions with different names

Benefits:

• Prevents Data Loss - Never accidentally overwrite important files
• Flexible Control - Choose how to handle each conflict
• Clear Notifications - Easy identification of conflicted files
• Detailed Logging - Complete record of conflict resolution
• Configurable Behavior - Set default conflict handling strategy

Essential for collaborative environments where multiple people might be working on the same files, or for maintaining synchronized copies with ongoing changes in multiple locations.
