Invalid directory error

[siphomateke]

Issue
After hosting from computer1 with some files, connecting to multihack-server from computer2, which doesn't have any files, computer2 will popup the error "Invalid directory error" saying every file already exists.

Steps to reproduce

1. start a multihack-server
2. create files on computer1 and join a room
3. open an empty folder on computer2
4. connect to the same room as computer1 from computer2

Expected result
The files sync successfully onto computer2 without any errors

Are both peers opening the exact same project, like the actual same directory in the file system? Or are you opening two copies of the project located in two different places?

@rationalcoding There are two computers. computer1 has the files in a folder and computer2 is just opened to a separate empty folder. No it is not the actual same directory. I am physically using two different computers with two different file directories. Not sure if that was what you were asking.

Probably a Windows thing. I'll try to get a VM running this week.
