Folder creation on target

am having a challenge copying files/folders to destination. The challenge is , the folder is not created on target host despite enabling the check box for "create source /target folders if they do not exist".

Example is C:\downloads\ViceVersa Pro to E:\downloads\

The folder ViceVersa Pro is not created on E\downloads. Instead contents of the folder are copied to the target.

Hi, the option "create source /target folders if they do not exist" just makes sure that E:\downloads\ exists and if not it creates it. Can you use E:\downloads\ViceVersa PRO\ as target instead of E:\downloads\ ? thanks

But then it means it beats the purpose of maintaining the security attributes of the folder. Advice on how we can still create the folder and maintain attributes on the target

Hi, you would only have to create the root folder manually once and set the permissions once manually.
