Using Synchronizer to compare content with ftp server generates errors for files with the length of 0 bytes. It stops on every single file which size is 0 bytes and shows error dialog. Example error message "IO error at comparing file /home/user/test/a.txt with ftp://user@ftp.server.com/test/a.txt!". Its an old bug that annoys when you synchronize big structure of files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new test folder and new empty file inside 2. Copy folder to ftp server 3. Synchronize content of folder with option "Compare by content" Actual Results: Error message. Example: "IO error at comparing file /home/user/test/a.txt with ftp://user@ftp.server.com/test/a.txt!". Expected Results: Synchronize directory without error messages.
Reproduciable using 2.4.0-beta3 when "Compare by content" is enabled.
