-sticks often have different volume names assigned to them when
-plugged into two distinct computers. In order to handle this
-flexibility FreeFileSync is able to process directory names relative
-to the current working directory.
Thus -the following workflow is possible:
+Specify + a directory via volume name: Syntax: [<volume name>]\<path>
+Example: + Use "[ZenJu-USB]\directory" + instead of "E:\directory" + where "ZenJu-USB" + is the name of the USB stick.
+
+
Use + a relative directory name:
+Replace
- the absolute USB directory name in your configuration by a relative
- one:
E.g. "E:\SyncDir"
- -> "\SyncDir"
Save - and copy synchronization settings to the USB stick: - "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
- -"Start
- FreeFileSync by double-clicking on "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
=>
- Working directory automatically is set to "E:\"
- by the operating system so that "\SyncDir"
- is interpreted as "E:\SyncDir"
- during synchronization.
Example: + Use "\directory" + instead of "E:\directory"
+Save + and copy synchronization settings to the USB stick: + "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
+Start
+ FreeFileSync by double-clicking on "E:\settings.ffs_gui"
=>
+ Working directory is automatically set to "E:\"
+ by the operating system so that "\directory"
+ is resolved as "E:\directory"
+ during synchronization.
