RealtimeSync
- Automated Synchronization -



RealtimeSync's primary function is to trigger synchronization immediately after files in a source directory have changed. However its implementation is more flexible to cover an even broader range of use: A list of directories provided by the user is monitored for changes. Whenever a file within these directories or sub directories is modified OR the directory becomes available (e. g. insert of a USB-stick), RealtimeSync responds by executing the user-specified command line.


Example: Real time synchronization - in combination with FreeFileSync

First start up RealtimeSync.exe located in FreeFileSync's installation directory. Then specify all directories that shall be monitored. Instead of doing this manually you can simply import a *.ffs_batch file via Menu -> File -> Load configuration. This not only extracts all directories relevant for synchronization but also sets up the command-line to execute the *.ffs_batch file each time changes are detected. Now press "Start" to begin monitoring.





Example: Automatic synchronization when USB stick is inserted

Save the relevant configuration on the USB stick's root directory to have it called when the stick is mounted. Then configure RealtimeSync as shown in the following:


Whenever directory "H:\Data" becomes available, the command line executes and starts the batch job on the stick. Additionally it also starts the batch job each time files are modified in "H:\Data".




Example: Show names of changed files or directories. (Windows)
