How Local Transfer Works
How Local Transfer Works
This feature allows you to transfer the project files and folders on your local machine to be transferred “as it is” to the server. This will make the project contents on the Server identical to that on the local machine.
This includes adding, updating, renaming, removing and moving of files and folders from your local machine to the server. The local machine will act as the master- so the server will be overridden and any additional files currently on the server will be removed.
Running a Local Transfer Schedule
Running a Local Transfer Schedule
Just like other manual or scheduled sync schedules, local transfer schedules are triggered from Advanced section for projects. They can also be triggered from Projects home page.
Note: the “Sync all” option in the home page does not run local transfer schedules.
