Using jFileSync

jFileSync consists of a windows service and an administration application. The administration application is used to create and edit a list of synchronizations, to configure email settings and to set the interval at which the windows service wakes up to do the synchronizations.

The first time you use jFileSync, you'll be prompted to configure the SMTP email settings. jFileSync will work without the email settings configured. If you do not wish to have jFileSync send you updates by email, just type any text into the SMTP server field.

Any change that you make to the "Perform Sync" interval will only take effect when the windows service is restarted. So if you change this setting, be sure to stop then restart the service for the change to take effect.

The Administration interface:

The email report:

The email report includes a list of file differences that were detected during the synchronization. If a file or is found that is a) not on the target at all, or b) has a more recent timestamp on the source than it does on the target then the file is copied from the source to the target and the file name is included in the email.

Also, if a directory is found that is on the source but not on the target then it is created on the target, and the directory name is included in the email.

If no differences are detected, then no email is sent out.

Configuring jFileSync to send email:

jFileSync will work with most SMTP servers. If you do not wish to receive emails then you can enter any text into the SMTP server field. The error message indicating that the SMTP server hasn't been configured will cease to appear but the synchronization will function normally.
