Why does s3sync create empty directories as files ??

[Abd4llA]

I'm building a web interface for s3sync to be used as a backup interface on S3. After I upload any empty directories or upload a directory that contain any empty directory and try to download them again "get it on the local filesystem", s3sync doesn't understand the "empty" node directories and creates it as a file and not as an empty directory !!! I'd appreciate any help, I'm not a ruby guy

Can you show me the sequence of commands you use and a test model of the directory structure that causes your issue?

Thanks for your reply, the problem is fixed in the latest version. When I used version 1.2.4 the problem no longer exists..

PS: I'd be glad to help in building a GUI for S3. I've already created one using php

Thanks anyway,
