Cloning a folder

To synchronize folders by file type
1
In the File Transfer window, select the files on your computer that you want
to synchronize with files on the other computer.
2
Select the files on the other computer with which you want to synchronize.
3
On the Actions menu, click Synchronize.
4
In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
5
When the operation finishes, in the File Transfer Status dialog box, click OK.
You can clone folders to ensure that the contents of one folder match the contents
of another folder. Unlike synchronization, which makes the contents of two folders
match by adding files to both, cloning overwrites the contents of the destination
folder to make it match the contents of the source folder.
Files and subfolders in the source folder are added to the destination folder if they
do not already exist. Files and subfolders in the destination folder that do not
exist in the source folder will be deleted. Duplicate files and subfolders in the
destination folder will be replaced with the most recent versions.
Before performing this procedure, you should perform a comparison of the two
folders to avoid losing data.
