FTPSync is a one way sync tool, that is, files are always transferred from source to destination. Due to its "blind sync" algorithm, it can not be used in two way sync scenarios, by defining two transfers, where one syncs from source to destination and the other vice versa.
However,...

This is not an issue with users running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, as those systems come with .NET preinstalled.

There are some issues in FTPSync regarding RetryDelay/RetryCount parameters.

A bug was introduced in FTPSync 2.8c, which may cause FTPSync to transfer no files at all, when IncludeRoot=No is set.
This issue has been resolved in FTPSync 2.8d.
There is a bug in FTPSync 2.8c, which in some cases may cause FTPSync to ignore AllowModeZ=No and continue to use MODE Z (compressed transfers) for some FTP server operations. If your FTP server is having issues with MODE Z, this may result in frequent timeouts, dropped transfers or complete inabi...

FTPSync by itself does not impose limits on file size to be transferred. However, due to firewalls prematurely timing out FTP sessions, it's possible that your specific setup may impose a file size limit, which may be as low as several MB and as high as several GB. Usual symptoms are:

When you run FTPSync for the first time, it will transfer all the files from source to destination. The reason for this is the way FTPSync determines files that should be transferred, which is done by comparing the snapshot of source directory from previous transfer with current state of files in so...
