I am syncing in the "up" direction using the -up flag. I get a 'conflict' message on a couple of files.
How to overcome this?
My idea was that in using the 'up' flag the files on the home machine would take precedence over anything on the server, so there should not be a conflict as might happen in the "-bi" switch?
Thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is no precedence. When both sides have changed since the last synchronisation there is always a conflict, because the action would destroy changes made by somebody. If you launch WebDAV-Sync without the "-d" option it will run in interactive mode and ask for the directory. It will then also ask for confirming an overwrite for each conflict.
I think I should add a new "-f" option, for "force". This way you can make such a decision in one go.
Best regards,
Werner.

Hi! :-)
I also would appreciate the -force feature because I have the same problem sometimes.
Edit: I think it is caused by right-changing on the target-side.
Btw: Its really a very nice helpful tool!
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hello,guys! I have the same problem. Although the files on the server not changed. When do you realize the force option?
Thank you for a very useful tool.
