Remove local files that no longer exist on the source server

Open gnrp2 opened this issue 10 years ago • 6 comments

It would be a nice feature to remove the local files that no longer exist on the source server. The actual implementation does not remove these files and the local copy of the source server grows indefinitely.. This removal feature could be turned on/off by a property in the config file.

Please just make the new behaviour optional because some use cases (mine ;-) ) just need that removed files from the source server have no effect on the backing server. This way, the source server can be used as a kind of file buffer where users can push their files and remove them once synced. Once synced, the only way to remove the files from the NAS would be by deleting them from the NAS. Useful for family usage of adsl internet boxes.

@crazy-max Any chance we could see this feature soon? I just spent the last few minutes wondering if there was some hidden config option for it. Its definitely a worthwhile addition to the automation process of this tool.
