To create a control file

To create a control file:

  1. Choose a directory for both Location 1 and Location 2. You can type in a local directory in either box, or click the Browse button to choose a remote site from a site profile, or a local folder. Click the Local tab on the Folder Selection dialog to choose a local folder.

    Note: You cannot use OpenPGP mode with the Synchronize Utility. If you use a OpenPGP-enabled site with Synchronize, be aware that the files will not be encrypted. You can, however, transfer files that have already been OpenPGP encrypted.

  2. Select the options you want to use.
  3. Select the mode you want to execute.
  4. Review the Status and Actions that will perform and make any adjustments you need to make. If you make an adjustment, your status will be changed to Customized.
  5. Set up any post transfer actions you want to use.
  6. Identify any Inclusions or Exclusions you may have.
  7. Click Save to save the control file.

You will now be able to use that control file anytime you use Synchronize. You can open and edit the control file when you want to change the Synchronize option.
