if you want to sync with `u2c.py` then:
* the `e2dsa` option (either globally or volflag) must be enabled on the server for the volumes you're syncing into
* ...and u2c will not be able to sync files/folders which are affected by the global-options `no-hash` and/or `no-idx`, and the same goes for volflags `nohash` and/or `noidx`
* ...and u2c needs the delete-permission, so either `rwd` at minimum, or just `A` which is the same as `rwmd.a`
* quick reminder that `a` and `A` are different permissions, and `.` is very useful for sync
alternatively there is [rclone](./docs/rclone.md) which allows for bidirectional sync and is *way* more flexible (stream files straight from sftp/s3/gcs to copyparty, ...), although there is no integrity check and it won't work with files over 100 MiB if copyparty is behind cloudflare alternatively there is [rclone](./docs/rclone.md) which allows for bidirectional sync and is *way* more flexible (stream files straight from sftp/s3/gcs to copyparty, ...), although there is no integrity check and it won't work with files over 100 MiB if copyparty is behind cloudflare
