Advanced FTP Site Settings: Synchronization Tab
The Synchronization tab contains all
the options related to the Folder
Synchronizer.
Synchronization Direction
If UPLOAD is selected, the synchronization
target will be the remote directory, while the local directory serves as
reference and source; if DOWNLOAD is selected, the local directory
will be the target; if BOTH is selected, new or newer files in either
of the directories will be the source.
Synchronization Scheme
This option defines a general rule on
how the contents of target directory will be modified or updated based on
the information of the source directory.
For Upload and Download
directions, available schemes are as follows:
Add only new files to destination
Update only existing files at destination
Update and add new files to destination
Update, add new and remove unique files at destination
Remove duplicate files at destination
For Both direction, available
schemes are as follows:
Add only new files to destination
Update only existing files at destination
Update and add new files to destination
Remove duplicate files at destination
Include subfolders
If selected, subfolders will be included
in the comparison and will show up in the Folder Synchronizer. By default
this option is enabled.
Show subfolders at bottom
If selected, subfolders will show up
at bottom in the directory tree. Otherwise they will be placed at top. By
default, this option is enabled.
Ignore filename case
If selected, filename case will be ignored
in directory and file comparison. By default, this option is disable.
Compare file size rather than file
time
By default, if a file in the destination
directory is found to match the name of a file in the source directory,
its time stamp will be compared against that of the source file as to determine
which one is "newer". If this option is enabled, the result is
determined solely by file size rather than file time. Suppose both the source
and the target directories have a file called "document.zip",
but they have different size, the one in the source directory will then
be considered as "newer" when applying one of the synchronization
schemes, otherwise both files will be considered to be identical.
This is useful for example, when you
want to update a local directory with another directory on a remote server,
which contains only binary files and you are sure that different files must
have different size.
Delete downloaded files from remote
server
If selected, TurboFTP will try to remove
a file after it is downloaded from the remote server. If the download is
incomplete or unsuccessful, it will not be removed.
Delete uploaded local files
If selected, TurboFTP will try to remove
a file after it is uploaded from the local computer. If the upload is incomplete
or unsuccessful, it will not be removed.
Filters
A group of options are provided which
allow you to ignore files or subdirectories in the comparison to perform.
An edit box is provided for entering filters, which can be specified with
wildcards and should be separated
with comma.
Apply filters to folder names
Apply filters listed in the edit field
below to subfolder names. If a subfolder's name matches one of the filters,
it will be hidden from view and excluded in the comparison. By using this
feature you can ignore certain subdirectories either in the local directory
or in the remote directory as needed.
Case sensitive filters
If selected, filters are treated as
case sensitive.
