Synchronizing Files

Hummingbird FTP lets you synchronize files and directories to and from a remote FTP site. This feature lets you maintain sets of local and remote files that must always have the same content. When changes are made to the master file, the mirror file is updated automatically. The files and directories to be synchronized must first be set up as synchronization items in the Hummingbird Neighborhood Synchronization Wizard.

To create a synchronization item:

1. In the Explorer window, navigate to the appropriate FTP file.
2. Right-click the file and click Synchronize. The Edit Synchronization Item Properties dialog box opens.
3. Specify information in the dialog box.
4. Click OK. Information about the newly synchronized files and directories appears in the Hummingbird Neighborhood Synchronization Wizard dialog box.

The wizard displays information about the newly synchronized files and directories.
