Synchronizing with the Server

When the synchronization process is initiated, the AirBEAM client attempts to open an FTP
session using the AirBEAM Client configuration. Once connected, the client processes the
specified packages. Packages are loaded only if the server version of a given package is
different from the version loaded on the client. Once the upload process is complete, the
AirBEAM client closes the FTP session with the server.
The AirBEAM client can launch an FTP session with the server either manually, when
initiated by the user or automatically.
