	When running an SFTP sync task, I get error 'SFTP: can't open file for writing (The system cannot find the path specified.)'

Solution Make sure the local folder for sync is valid. In addition, if you are using a network share as local folder, make sure you use a UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) path instead of one with network-mapped drive letter.

For example,

Use a UNC path name like:
\\192.168.0.100\syncfolder

Don't use:
Z:\syncfolder

(where 'Z' is the network mapped drive)
