| - | ====== Synchronize dialog box ====== | + | ====== Synchronize Dialog box ====== |
| - | Most likely what you want to know about this page is answered here: | + | In Synchronize Dialog you select [[task_synchronize_full|synchronisation mode and options]]. To display the dialog go to //Commands > Synchronize// or click respective toolbar button. |
| - | [[faq_synch_direction|What do direction options (local, remote, both) for Synchronisation mean?]] | + | &screenshotpict(synchronize) |
| - | Someone official will probably have to finish off this page to answer anything else :) | + | ===== Directories ===== |
| + | Enter root directories for the synchronisation into //Local directory// and //Remote directory// boxes. By default the current working directories will be used. In [[ui_explorer|Explorer-like interface]], where there is no local working directory, it will be the last local directory used. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Direction (Modes) ===== | ||
| + | Use options //Both//, //Remote// or //Local// to select your preferred [[task_synchronize_full#synchronisation_modes|synchronisation mode]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Synchronise Options ===== | ||
| + | The //Delete files// checkbox makes WinSCP delete files and subdirectories in target directory that are not present in a source directory. The option is not available for //Both// mode, because in the mode such files and subdirectories are always considered as new and transfered into the opposite directory (unless //Existing files only// is checked). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Existing files only// checkbox makes WinSCP not to consider files and subdirectories not existing in an opposite director as new. Such files and subdirectories will be ignored. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //No confirmations// checkbox suppresses some confirmations, like overwrite and resume confirmations. Note that even if the option is not selected you may not see the confirmations, when they are suppressed in global [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|preferences]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Preview changes// checkbox makes WinSCP request confirmation from you before each change it makes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Check //Use same options next time// if you want to make your options be default next time you use function //[[task_synchronize_full|Synchronise]]//. Note that this will affect function //[[task_keep_up_to_date|Keep remote directory up to date]]// as well. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Transfer Preferences ===== | ||
| + | Button //Transfer preferences// opens Preferences dialog on //[[ui_pref_transfer|Transfer tab]]//. This allows you to change global transfer preferences that affects the synchronisation. You may find this useful mainly to [[ui_pref_transfer#other_options|exclude certain files and subdirectories]] from synchronisation. | ||
