Hi,
I really like the new feature of syncing with dropbox and/or ftp. Right now I'm using dropbox..

But I have one problem. My folder hierarchy looks like this:

MDS/
application
/data/datafiles
/lookup_files/lookup_file1.csv, ... lookup_file2.csv

I manage to "get" the .pen and .pff file, then CreateClientPath/CreateServerPath data and to "put" my data files, but then I want to go up one level and down into the folder lookup_files, to "get" my files there, but I don't manage to go back up.

The obvious way to do it to me is (after dealing with the data folder)

ServerPath=..
ClientPath=..

CreateClientPath=/lookup_files
ClientPath=/lookup_files

But it seems my lookup_files folder ends up under the Data folder. And I haven't found an example on how to do this (I also tried just to set the paths like this (again after dealing with the data folder):

ServerPath=MDS
ClientPath=MDS

..and various versions with and without slashes

Any suggestions on how to do it?

If you start the path in a ServerPath or ClientPath command with a "/" then it resets but if you don't start it with a "/" then it adds to the previous path. So in your case if you do the following after you get the data files it should work:

CreateServerPath=/MDS/lookupfiles
ServerPath=/MDS/lookupfiles

Actually I'm surprised .. doesn't work.

I just tested using .. to go up a level and it is working for me. Here is my .pnc file:

[Sync]
CreateServerPath=/test/foo
ServerPath=/test/foo
ServerPath=..
CreateClientPath=/test/foo
ClientPath=/test/foo
ClientPath=..
Get=bar.txt

In my Dropbox I have the file bar.txt in the folder Dropbox/test/. When I run it that file gets copied to csentry/test on my phone.

I'm running the latest beta and we have made some fixes to sync so if you are using an older version that might be the issue.
