To synchronize local and remote directories
This option allows you copy to or from the FTP server only those files whose content differs from the ones on local/remote host. The following logic determines how the directories are synchronized:
If there is no file in the destination folder, the source file is copied.
If the destination and source files have the same name, but differ in size, the source file is copied.
When Ignore date is not selected and the destination and source files have the same name and size, but different dates, the source file is copied. The local file's date is set to the remote file's date.
When Ignore date is selected and the destination and source files have the same name and size, but different dates, the source file is not copied.
In all other situations, the source file is not copied.
When synchronization begins, the Visual Synchronization browser opens automatically showing what is being synchronized, and highlights any files that have differences.
