GetSync [-rnhimuo<n>y<n>d<n>] [<filename pattern>] [, <directory pattern>]
The GetSync command is used to synchronize a local directory with a remote directory by downloading files. The characters (options) in the first parameter (after an initial hyphen character) control which files will be downloaded. The optional second parameter can filter files based on their names. The third parameter can limit the -r option to directories with names which match the directory pattern.
| Option r | |
The r option will cause the command to operate on files in subdirectoires as well.
| |
| Option n | |
This option only downloads newer files (remote files that have date stamp which is
later than the one of a file with same name in the local directory).
| |
| Option s | |
This option only transfers files which exist on both sides (locally and remote), but
have different file sizes.
| |
| Option u | |
This option (update) downloads all remote files for which a
corresponding local file alread exists (this option is ingonred if the
n or s option is given).
| |
| Option m | |
The m option transfer all missing files, i.e. files which
only exist on the source directory.
| |
| Option 0 | |
The 0 option works in conjunction with the m option and
causes a destination file with a size of 0 bytes to be treated as if
it were missing (i.e. m will transfer the file, even if it exists,
but when it has 0 bytes).
| |
| Option k | |
The k option will delete (kill) local files for which there is
no equivalent (file with same name) on the server.
| |
| Option i | |
Ignore errors (e.g. locked files).
| |
| Option h | |
Include local hidden and system files in the list of files.
| |
| Option o<n> and y<n> | |
These options will transmit files, which have a remote file date which
is older or younger than the current time minus <n> hours
(see example below). The value of <n> can also be a decimal fraction of
an hour, e.g. 0.5
| |
| Option d<n> | |
With this option only files will be transferred, which have a date that of exactly today minus <n> days (i.e. it will transfer files only of that single day, not files older or younger than that day). | |
If no option is given, the combination -rnm is the default.
The r parameter can be combined with any of the other parameters. The u and n parameters cannot be combined. The y, o and d are also mutually exlusive. The y, o or d need to be combined with n, m or u and restrict these to the given time period.
Files are transferred between the current local and remote directories, so you probably will need LocalChDir and RemoteChDir commands before actually starting the transfer.
