it depends what the reason is for the profile finding files that look as though they need replacing. The most common reason is that the FTP server does (did) not store the LastModified date/time correctly (it may be wrong/corrupt/blank, or seconds-value is missing, or files are stamped 'as of' date/time of upload instead). You need to run the profile again (a Simulated Run will do) and check the Differences window for '
what difference' it is displaying re files you think should match, and report back. If the dates look identical on each side, check the Size values, and/or folder/filenames (especially any non-standard characters);
something about the files is being reported as different, or the files SB proposes to copy would not be listed as 'Differences'...you can highlight a row in the grid and all the properties of that file (or pair of) will display in the properties pane lower left of the grid for easy cross-reference by eye.
It depends what the differences are how you might try to work around this (note: if the LastMod stamps are different, specify exactly 'how' or provide a screenshot - it might mean there is a simple solution)
Depending on the answer to the above, it
might be possible to sidestep the problem using hashing, but only if the FTP server supports that (many do not, especially often the broken ones that cannot store the date/time properly). Go to the main FTP settings page of the profile and click the 'Test FTP Settings' button. The output text from the test should contain a section near the end labelled
Code:
DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS: Features supported by FTP server:
and a line in the output (a few lines below it) like
DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS: XCRC: Yes/NoIf it says 'No' (or
XCRC isn't listed at all) then the FTP server does not support hashing.
There are also some textual statements at the end of the test output about things the profile has figured out for itself, such as being able to store LastModified correctly (or not); it may be useful to post most of this test output here, but you should redact the IP address of the server (and any URL quoted) and the USER name before submitting (note that the password is [hidden] already).
