Edit Synchronization Item Properties Dialog Box

You can synchronize files to and from a remote FTP site. You can also create a master file, which lets you easily maintain sets of remote and local files. When two files are synchronized, the secondary copy is automatically synchronized with the master each time.

This dialog box lets you set up a synchronization item and designate the master file.

Name For This Synchronization Task—Lets you provide a name that identifies this task.

Profile to Use—Specifies the FTP or 5250 profile to be used when synchronizing the files. This box is selected by default. To select an FTP profile, click the browse button at the right side of the box.

Remote Filename / Directory—Specifies the remote file name. This box is automatically filled in when you click Synchronize in the pop-up menu.

Local Filename / Directory—Specifies the local file name to be synchronized with the remote file. To select the file, click the browse button to the right of the box. The full path name must be typed in this box.
