Hello I just update version to 8.0.7 (from 8.0.1.9) and I see on the FTP folder a new file : _BestSync_Meta.dat_ If we remove it, it will be recreated.
It seem that BestSync validate on each sync (1min). Why? And I there something I can do to stop it?

_BestSync_Meta.dat_ is for detecting changed files in case your FTP server is lack of support of commands for synchronization.
Your can disable the action in by uncheck the "For reducing the scanning time, create _BestSync_Meta.dat_ file if necessary" option in the "Miscellaneous" tab.
But I do not recommend you to disable the option.

Hello, thank you for prompt answer!

Unfortunately, I cannot find the "miscellaneous" tab you refer in your answer (I have Ultimate version 8.0.7).
There is one in "FTP advanced Setting" but only option is : Call "CWD" to change the current directory before "MLSD" etc command.

Try to look each menu one by one and didn't find it! Sorry, but can you guide me!

Thanks

Because you are using a too old version, it has not the option.
If you want to use the option, you need to upgrade to the last version.
