[HELP] skipping non-regular file

Hi,

Often when i upload i have this error in debug arosync logs : INFO: skipping non-regular file

When i check the file there is nothing special no read only or system flag, i can read, open, modify the file without problem, and my windows account is the owner of the file. Here is an exemple of file :

2015/03/28 10:20:42    INFO: skipping non-regular file "Sauvegardes/Mailbird/Attachments/20536/smime.p7s"
or
2015/03/28 10:20:55    INFO: skipping non-regular file "Sauvegardes/Text/c2license.txt"

This is very anoying because files are not backuped.

Do you have an idea to know what that mean ?

Sincerly.

    Usually these files are marked as system files.  You can use the attrib command to see the attributes.

    To remove the system attribute, run this command:

    attrib -s <file name>

    Hi,

    I make some test and to clean all, i do a attrib -R /S on the top directory. After, if i sync with Acrosync, there is no problem. But 1 or 2 hours after, some files become READONLY again !

    So, i think that i have a process that change some files attribut.

    So, this is not a Acrosync problem, i must check on my computers wo do that.

    I am sorry for the noise.

    Sincerly.

    Hi!

    This is an old thread, by I recently encountered the same problems.
    I found out that the Windows I attribute ('do not index this file') and the C attribute ('file can be compressed') cause the skipping, too.

    Is it possible to ignore these attributes when syncing? They are specific for Windows-behavior, but they are not relevant for a backup.

    Currently, the files are skipped, which should not be.

    Regards, Konrad

    @kzk,  that is a different issue.  Acrosync by default skips files whose archive attribute is not set.  You can change this behavior by adding a registry value ListAllFiles (type DWORD and value 1) under HKCU/Software/Acrosync/AcrosyncClient (or HKLC/Software/Acrosync/AcrosyncClient if you installed Acrosync for all users).
