Packing List SyncEXP.exe - Main program SyncEXP.cfg - Configuration data Readme_SyncEXP.txt - This file 3. Installation of Program Copy the files to where you want them to run. 4. Removal of Program Just delete the files will do. 5. Functionality This is a tool synchronising files and folders within a single computer or within an intranet setting. The tool compares files and sub-folders then it does copy/delete/ignore items as you instructed. This tool runs fast and uses very little system resource. It is your best companion in making backups and mirroring files. 5.1 Functions: - copy from host to mirror - copy from mirror to host - delete at host or mirror - ignore at host or mirror - ignore sub-folder in host - compare existence/time/date/size of files/folders - ignore summer time difference - ignor minor time shift raised in different time creation method used in NTSF and FAT systems - configurational select/ignore/delete file type - configurational multiple tasks - configurational speed (a friendly feature to all busy intranet) - capable to handle password protected machine on intranet - preview of action on items - auto run individual task - detail log on task performed 5.2 Special attention: deletion of item is permanent, you won't be able to recover it from trash bin. So make good use of the Ignore and Preview functions. First time users are strongly advised to test run it on dump folders until they understand what the tool can do. 5.3 Scheduling Task Step One: enable "auto" mode on the task you want to schedule. Step Two: add to the command line "SyncEXP -atask1" in your scheduler, whereas task1 is the name of your scheduling task. Make sure the SyncEXP.cfg and SyncEXP.exe are in the same folder. Task name is case insensitive, and does not allow space between letters. To run all tasks configured, use "SyncEXP /a" on command line. To allow unlimited transfer speed, set it to 0 KB/s. 6.
