# Synchronize with SFTP (Windows)

FreeFileSync supports synchronization with SFTP natively. Just enter your SFTP login information into the dialog shown during folder selection:

Note
In case the SFTP server sets file modification times to the current time you can do a Compare by File Size as a workaround.

# Synchronize with SFTP (Linux)

An SFTP share can be mapped to a local folder for use with FreeFileSync:

- Install:
  sudo apt-get install sshfs
- Mount SFTP share:
  sshfs ssh-account@ssh-server:<path> mountpoint
- Unmount:
  fusermount -u mountpoint
