Synchronizer Properties

A new feature in GetRight 5.0!
Server Synchronizer lets you keep yourself current with sites you visit or download from often. GetRight can search a server and find the files which you do not have on your computer or the ones that have changed.
Want to copy a web site for offline viewing? No problem!
Need to be sure you have all the current documents from your corporate intranet? No problem!
Want to make sure you have all the MP3's from your favorite band's website? No problem!
Need to get that Linux installer and documentation? No problem!

Name

This is the name you want this synchronization to be called. It should make it easy for you to see what you are synchronizing, especially if you have several synchronizations from the same server.

FTP Path or HTTP URL

The starting point for the search and synchronize.
This can be either an FTP site (or sub directory or that web site) or an HTTP web site (or page within the site).

Include Subfolders...

This determines whether or not you want to synchronize one particular directory or web page or the entire site.
FTP: This will only search subdirectories of the primary search directory. It will not 'back up' to the root of the server if the search is not begun there.
HTTP: This will only search web pages in the main search directory or subdirectories of it. It will not follow links to parent directories or to other domains. If you want to search an entire web site, be sure you begin at the base url. It will, however, show results which are found in other directories or on other domains.

Username and Password Login

If the HTTP or FTP site requires a login, you can configure that here.

Local Directory

This is the 'base' directory on your computer where things will be saved. The synchronizer will recreate the directory structure of the server, and create subdirectories from here.

My Computer Options

These options determine how the synchronizer should work. Whether it should get all the files, or just ones that are now or changed.
If you are synchronizing a site regularly, this can save time, by only downloading new or different files.

Don't go forever...

This option prevents the synchronizer from searching forever on big sites. (Unless you want it to.)
If you switch this option OFF, be careful if synchronizing big sites unattended...

Filtering

It's not always necessary to get every file on a site, this allows the search to be more refined. If you are looking only for EXE files or MP3 files, etc. this filter can be used accordingly.

Results Options

This let's you choose whether you want to be able to look at (and select) your search results before adding them to the main download window. If you are sure that you want to download all the search results, then the "Automatic..." setting can save a step.
