Select the SuperSync category from the list.
Now click on the Synchronize button.
You should get a dialog box instructing you that SuperSync will synchronize all folders under
the selected category without prompting you to confirm or accept the SuperSync action lists.
Click Yes to start the category synchronization.
This will initiate a communication request from the SuperSync client to the SuperSync server
component.
You should have a valid network connection to connect to a remote machine within your
organisation or over the Internet. If using the Internet to synchronize, I recommend you initiate
a VPN connection to your organisation's network first. Otherwise, your system's and network
admin have to open the SuperSync service port on the firewall to allow traffic to pass through.
SuperSync will compress any communication between the client and server to save bandwidth
and get a faster response time from the server.
Once the server has inspected your file list, your history file, and the server file list, it will
generate a list of actions which will be returned to the client. You can see this list in the SuperSync Action List.
Because you are running a category synchronize, you will not be prompted to accept the
changes. SuperSync will automatically accept the returned action list.
The progress dialog box opens and displays the progress of the synchronization process.
You can click on the Cancel button anytime during the process to stop the synchronization of
the SuperSync folder.
When the synchronization process is complete, the server folder (right folder) should contain
the same files and folders as the left folder (local folder).
Also, the right folder should now contain a hidden file with the extension ".supersync". This is
your login's history file.
For example, on my machine, the previous run generated a file called "emile.supersync".
This file is in binary format and is not readable by humans. It contains a listing of your left
folder's files and directories at the time of the last successful sync.
During synchronization, SuperSync creates temporary files that get renamed to the original
filename when the content of the file is copied successfully. These temporary files have the
extension ".temp.supersync".
Any file or folder that ends with the extension ".supersync", will not be synchronized.
If you have checked the Backup Deleted? option for a SuperSync folder, SuperSync will
create a directory called "bakcup.supersync" which will contain the deleted files or folders.
This directory is created on both the client and server machines.
Files and folders in this directory are cleaned up after the specific number of days have
passed, as configured for the SuperSync folder pair.
