The KB article on "Synchronize" says it is possible to synchronize Server Changes to Local Computer (as well as the other way) - but when I plunk some files down on the Transfer Queue and click Schedule I get a dialog that has an option to "Monitor Local File" and an explaination that says if the "local file changes", then the queue iten is processed.
I take this to mean that it ONLY sends local files to the remote server when the local file is updated.
I do NOT take this to mean that when the local file stays the same, but the remote server is more recent, then the server file will be brought over. Is this what you meant to say? If so you might change your wording a bit.
If not then how do I update my local copy when the remote files change? This is what I'll generally be dealing with, just wanting to back-up the server files.
I'm cautious as I'm new to this program and do not want to zap my work on the server.
My server is using Genie6 v3.8 so it can do the MDT (or whatever command that does the required directory listing) and it is enabled in my settings (basically the defaults).
If I can get this to work fine, then I'll only have to download the modified files each day which saves bandwidth charges and is super nice! I suppose I need to use the FTP Program Library toolkit thing to have the download append a date/time on to the download directory (thus creating a new dir) so I can keep a record of changes, right?
Anyway, thanks so much again. Super job Mat!
