The FlexTk file management toolkit provides advanced file synchronization capabilities allowing one
to synchronize files between directories, local disks and network shares. The FlexTk's built-in file
synchronization engine offers numerous one-way and two-way file synchronization modes, rule-based file
matching capabilities and advanced performance tuning options. Frequently used file synchronization
operations may be pre-configured as user-defined commands and executed in a single mouse click.
Moreover, FlexTk allows one to create desktop shortcuts for user-defined file synchronization commands
and execute them directly from the Windows desktop without the need to start the main FlexTk GUI application.
In addition to the GUI application, FlexTk Ultimate provides a command line utility allowing one to use all
the features of the FlexTk file management toolkit from an OS shell window. The FlexTk command line tool
provides power users and system administrators with the ability to automate all the available file management
operations and to integrate FlexTk features into batch files and shell scripts. The FlexTk command line tool
is located in <ProductDir>/bin directory.
Options:
-sync_mode <SD | SUD | SAD | STW | STA>
SD - Sets the sync-destination file synchronization mode (Default)
All changes made in the source directory will be propagated to destination.
Files deleted from the source directory will be deleted from destination.
All files changed or deleted in destination will be restored from source.
SUD - Sets the update-destination file synchronization mode
Newly created and modified source files will be copied to destination.
Files deleted from the source directory will be deleted from destination.
Files deleted from the destination directory will be restored from source.
SAD - Sets the accumulate-destination file synchronization mode
Newly created and modified source files will be copied to destination.
Files deleted from the destination directory will be restored from source.
Newly created and modified destination files will be kept in place.
STW - Sets the two-way file synchronization mode
Newly created and modified files will be synchronized in both directions.
Files deleted from the source directory will be deleted from destination.
Files deleted from the destination directory will be restored from source.
STA - Sets the two-way accumulate file synchronization mode
Newly created and modified files will be updated in both directions.
Files deleted in one location will be restored from the second location.
After finishing the synchronization process both locations will be identical.
-sync_dirs_time
Instructs FlexTk to synchronize directories' timestamps.
-streams <StreamCount>
Specifies the number of simultaneous synchronization streams.
-file_delay <delay in milliseconds>
Instructs the FlexTk's sync engine to insert a delay of X ms.
after each copied file. Use this option when you need to
slowly synchronize files to or from a busy production system in order
to minimize the potential performance degradation.
-block_delay <delay in milliseconds>
Instructs the FlexTk's sync engine to insert a delay of X ms.
after each data block. Use this option when you need to
slowly synchronize files to or from a busy production system in order
to minimize the potential performance degradation.
-copy_dacl
Instructs to copy files' access control lists (DACL).
-copy_sacl
Instructs to copy files' security control lists (SACL).
-copy_owner
Instructs to copy files' user/group information.
-v
This parameter instructs FlexTk to show the product major version,
minor version, revision and build date.
-help
This parameter instructs FlexTk to show the command line usage information.
