Syncronize folders

Post by adorni »

Hi. I need to syncronize two folders BIDIRECTIONAL. I have the 6.5 version.

All works fine, EXCEPT the deleted files... when i delete in folder one or two one file, Robotask not delete the file in the other folder, only copy again from the other folder the file deleted.

Any idea?

Thanks

The removing of files you deleted in the source folder is possible only in unidirectional mode. This is "Exact copy" parameter.

if you want to remove files from target folder, but make the bi-directional synchronization do the following:

Synchronize Folder1 to Folder2 (use Exact Copy)
Synchronize Folder2 to Folder1


Thus, you will remove files in Folder2 when you remove files in the Folder1 and you will have newest files in both folders.

Of course it doesn't work in this case.
You have to choose main folder for synchronization.
In my example the main folder is Folder1. Both folders can't be main
