The WS_FTP Pro Synchronize Utility - Updating a Local Folder with Files in a Remote Folder

Step 4 of 7  < Previous | Next >

You may have noticed that changing the synchronization mode also changes the Actions that the WS_FTP Pro Synchronize Utility will perform when it finds an item of a particular Status.

Take a look at the actions that will be performed when we select (Synchronize Location1 <- Location2) as our synchronization mode:

Status Action
Only on Loc1 If the file is only found in Location1, no transfer will take place.
Newer on Loc1 If the file found in Location1 is newer than the file found in Location2, no transfer will take place.
Same on both If the file found is the same in both locations, no transfer will take place.
Newer on Loc2 If the file found in Location2 is newer than the file found in Location1, then transfer the file to Location1.
Only on Loc2 If the file is only found in Location2, then transfer the file to Location1.

Note: If you don’t want any of the pre-set options, select Customized from the Synchronization mode dropdown. This allows you to set your own actions for each file status.
