OK, I've experimented a little with PowerShell and the KeePass triggers and the comparison of the local mod date with the remote mod date works when I use only one KeePass client and the client on the phone. However, if I use two KeePass clients, I get a ping-pong sync between both, as each sync results in the remote DB being newer than the local DB of the other client. I think there's no perfect solution as long as KeePass does always update the DB files during a sync even if there were no modifications...

I haven't much experience with scripting in KeePass. With scripting you mean a WinSCP script or a KPS script? To avoid saving the credentials (database and WebDAV) to a script, I should create a trigger on database opening which executes the script that checks the mod dates and syncs the databases if needed, right?

OK, thanks. I will do some tests, but I guess I can't avoid making the WebDAV folder accessible on Windows file system level to check the date. In case of normal KeePass sync I can directly access the file from KeePass and read the credentials from the used database.

Hi Paul, you mean that there's a solution to compare the mod date of the DB file on WebDAV with the mod date of the local DB file to decide if a sync should be triggered or not? Cheers, Simon

What I basically want to do is to keep a database on Windows (KeePass) synchronized with a database on a cell phone. If I modify the database on any device I also want to update the database on the other device automatically. For this purpose I have a copy of the database on a WebDAV drive. The app on my cell phone checks first if the mod date of the database file on WebDAV has changed or not. If it has changed, the app will download the file and merge it with the local file on the phone. If the...

Hi Paul, thanks for the explanation. My understanding of how the sync feature works was wrong, I think. Your trigger set is very interesting, but in my particular case it won't solve the problem. The third party apps aren't able to read/write the additional files with the timestamps. So I would need a solution that enables KeePass to check the mod date of the remote file to decide if a sync is required or not. I guess there's no convenient way to do this via command line, because you would have to...

Hi, I'm using the synchronization feature (with triggers) to sync a local database with a remote version (WebDAV). I synchronize the databases after opening and after saving it. I'm wondering why KeePass always saves the databases (local and remote copy) even if there were no modifications of the databases (e.g. after sync on opening). I would expcet that KeePass will check first if there are any modifications and only if there are some, it will save the changes. I'm also using third party clients,...

I guess you're right. I looked into the source code of the plugin and it seems that the filename comes from a KeePass function. I think there's nothing else I can do than using filenames without blanks or using another service like WebDav that doesn't need the plugin. Thanks for your help, Paul. Regards, Slummi
