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.
