Select Items to have shown a list of all synchronization items.

Item groups can be defined (within the Synchronization dialog – Group field – see below). Select Groups to have shown a list of synchronization groups.

This allows you to perform mass synchronizations (by clicking the Sync Now button).

Click the button to add a new synchronization definition. The Synchronization dialog opens.

Select a synchronization definition and click the button to edit its settings. The Synchronization dialog opens.

Select a synchronization definition and click the button to perform some minor changes and save a new (similar) definition. The Synchronization dialog opens.

Select a synchronization definition and click the button to delete it.

Click the button to have shown a synchronization log file – provided that it is defined under the Synchronization dialog – Log File field (see below).

Identification of this task in synchronizations list. Enter some descriptive text.

Path to the file that logs synchronizations. Click the " ..." button to select this file. The recommended file format is .txt.

If you click the Sync Now button (FTP Service – Synchronization), the log file opens – you can watch the synchronization progress.

• One-way simple – synchronizes all new files and updates existing ones to Destination.

  This option does not delete anything in Destination so it can be used to merge different storages.

  In the case a file is deleted in Source, it stays in the Destination.

• One-way clone – creates a complete clone of Source to Destination.

  Extra files in Destination that were not found in Source are deleted. Includes folders and directories.

• Two-way – a full two-way synchronization. Tracks all changes in both Source and Destination and reflects them back to the other. First synchronization merges all folders and files and other ones track changes and perform them in a proper storage.

  Delete a file in Source and the file will be deleted in Destination.

  Add a directory to Destination and it will appear in Source.

If enabled, all subdirectories will be synchronized too.

• FTP: Backup your IceWarp FTP Server.

  This is the most common usage.

• Directory: Synchronize from some local or network directory.

Specifies a source server name.

Username used to login to this source server.

Password used to login to this source server.

Remote relative directory path. Uses slashes – /

Enter regexes with file names that you want to ignore when the directory is synchronized. I. e. these files will not be copied into the destination directory.

e.g.: \.db$ – all files with the .db extension are ignored.

This feature allows checking whether the intended synchronization is directed to the right external device mapped as a computer drive. This is confirmed by a specific file within the device.

It is possible to check only a file existence or (optionally) even a file content defined by regex.

In the case the file is found, synchronization is started.

Syntax: <FilePath>=[<Regex Content>]

Example: y:\my_device.txt

(This example does not use regex content specification.)

See the appropriate field description for Source.

Where comes on force, substitute "source" with "destination".
