RE: FSMT re-run question

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand your concern very much. However I try to repeat
your question:

After the first migration on a fixed share folder, you changed a file in
the folder. You want o know if there is any way to re-migrate the folder
with only copying the modified file. If it is not correct, please let me
know.

Actually, the sentence you mentiond means you can re-migrate the shared
folder for times but the migrate process will copy the whold folder. FSMT
cannot just copy the modified files. It is by design.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
