RealtimeSync

RealtimeSync's primary function is to trigger synchronization immediately after files in a source directory have changed. However its implementation is much 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 or a subdirectory is modified, RealtimeSync responds by executing the user-specified commandline.

Example: (Real time synchronization - in combination with FreeFileSync)

First 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 commandline to execute the *.ffs_batch file every time changes are detected. Then press start to begin monitoring.

Note:

• Using RealtimeSync is not restricted to starting FreeFileSync. It can also be used for other scenarios, like sending an email whenever a certain directory is modified.

• Starting the tool can be automated by passing a RealtimeSync configuration file (*.ffs_real) OR a FreeFileSync Batch file (*.ffs_batch) as first commandline argument. This allows for integration with your operating system's autostart facility:

C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealtimeSync.exe C:\MyConfig.ffs_real
C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealtimeSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch
