Folder Synchronize 2.8

Folder Synchronize is a command-line path comparison & synchronize application to compare and synchronize two paths Folder Synchronize is a command-line path comparison & synchronize application to compare and synchronize two paths. We developed Folder Synchronize for those who need do to standardized compare and synchronize tasks but do not need a GUI utility such as our Directory Toolkit tool.
For example, Folder Synchronize is useful for network administrators and home/small business users who perform standardized backup and synchronize tasks between one or more machines.
Folder Synchronize is a 32 bit application for Windows 95/98/ME NT/2000/XP/2003.
All commands are submitted to the program via script files. Scripts are ASCII text files you create with your text editor. You can launch the program via a .bat/.cmd file. The program defaults to using .sfs as a file name extension for script files. If you do not change this you can also double click on a script named to the .sfs extension to launch the program and execute that script. Drag n drop in Explorer also works.
Main features:
- Variable names can be defined and used to specify paths in your scripts.
- On-the-fly synchronize operation choice via a "Prompted" operation. (See more info page - New window)
- Optional progress meter display. (Shown above, also see more info page - New window)
- Optional custom bitmap & message of your choice displayed in the progress meter.
- A No Cancel switch can be used to make it less easy for a procedure to be interrupted.
- Require (or not) confirmation of file operations. (See more info page)
- Complex include/exclude file masks that let you include/exclude some file or subdirectories while including others.
- Output report function. When the output report is enabled it contain a summary of the path comparison &/or a summary of the file operations carried out by the synchronize.
- Binary file contents comparison instead of file time/date stamp to determine alike vs. different files. A special switch can also be used to speed up binary comparisons by not performing binary compare if two files have the same size & time/date.
- Environment variables supported for path names.
- Folder Synchronize can read Directory Toolkit scripts without modification.
