Script Transfer Options:

View Script Transfer Options: When you connect to another iClose-Up computer and select iClose-Up Quick File Transfer you can then select the Files/Folder you want to transfer from your Source, then select your Destination, and then press the Save as Script button. Now if you check View Script Transfer Options the Script Transfer Options will be displayed. The Script Transfer Options only affect the transfers by Script and not the transfers by hand. The Options are listed below.

Include Subfolders (checked by default): When checked, if you select a Folder or multiple Folders to transfer, the Folders you selected will be transferred as well as any subfolders within your selected Folders.

When unchecked, if you select a Folder or multiple Folders to transfer, just the Folders you selected will be transferred and none of the subfolders.

Mirror Image Backup (unchecked by default): You will generally only check this option if you are using iClose-Up for offsite Backups. When checked, iClose-Up will take any extra files or folders on your destination computer that do not exist on the source computer and move them to the iClose-Up Deleted Files Archive folder in the root directory. iClose-Up will append the date and time to the file or folder moved. This option works only when one or more folders are selected for transfer and works only on those folders selected, if just a file or multiple files and no folders are selected for transfer then this option will not delete and move any files.

Mirror Image Backup is useful when you are backing up on an ongoing basis data from one computer to another. With this option any files or folders that have been deleted from the source computer will be deleted from the destination computer’s folder and moved to the iClose-Up Deleted Files Archive folder. As an example say you backup the office fileserver to your home computer. Each day people at the office delete files and folders on the fileserver. After a few days or a few months you can see that your folders at home would have many extra “deleted” files and folders and not be a mirror image of the office fileserver. By turning on Mirror Image Backup your home computer will always have a mirror image of the office fileserver. Any files or folders that get deleted at the office will be deleted from that directory on your home computer and moved to the iClose-Up Deleted Files Archive folder. In addition iClose-Up will append the date and time to the file or folder deleted and moved.

Then if someone at the office says they deleted a file or folder 6 months ago and they now desperately need it, you can find it instantly in the iClose-Up Deleted Files Archive folder.

Transfer Contents Only (unchecked by default): When unchecked, iClose-Up transfers Files and Folder Names. If you select a Folder to transfer, this option not only sends all the files in the Folder but also if the receiving Folder or drive does not have the same name as the source Folder, a new subfolder will be created on the receiving side. This is the way Windows copies normally work.

When checked, if you select a single Folder to transfer, this option acts as though you selected all the files in the Folder (contents only). It will not send the Folder name nor will it create a subfolder with the Folder name on the receiving side. This is a modification of the way Windows normally copies files. Some users like this option because they do not have to make sure that the folder names on both computers are the same.

Transfer only Common Files (unchecked by default):

All Files: When unchecked, all files selected will be transferred.

Send or Fetch: As an example on a send if the Client computer has two files A & B and the Server computer has two files B & C then after the transfer the Client would have two files A & B and the Server would have three files A & B & C (B with the latest time and date).

Synchronize: As an example on a synchronize if the Client computer has three files A & B & C and the Server computer has three files A & B & D then after the synchronize the Client would have four files A & B & C & D (files A & B with the latest time and date), and the Server would have four files A & B & C & D (files A & B with the latest time and date). Both sides Client and Server are identical.

Common Files: When checked, only common files selected will be transferred. iClose-Up transfers files or folders you select to the destination computer, but only transfers files that have the same name on both computers (Files Common to both sides).

Send or Fetch: As an example on a send if the Client computer has two files A & B and the Server computer has two files B & C then after the transfer the Client would have two files A & B and the Server would have two files B & C (B with the latest time and date).

Synchronize: As an example on a synchronize if the Client computer has two files A & B and the Server computer has two files B & C then after the synchronize the Client would have two files A & B (B with the latest time and date), and the Server would have two files B & C (B with the latest time and date). The Synchronize works on just file B making sure both sides have the latest time and date.

If file exists on destination computer If you are transferring a file and it already exists on the other computer what action should be taken.

Replace the existing file if it is older: This is the default and is the option used most often.

If the file name you are transferring already exists on the other computer and the file’s time and date is newer, then delete the old file on the other computer and transfer the file.

Replace the existing file always: If the file name you are transferring already exists on the other computer, then delete the file on the other computer, and then transfer the file. File time and date are ignored.

Do not copy the file: If the file name you are transferring already exists on the other computer, then do not transfer the file. File time and date are ignored.

Rename the existing file if it is older: If the file name you are transferring already exists and is older on the other computer, then rename the file on the other computer, and then transfer the file. As an example say the original file name was “yourfile.doc”, after it is renamed it would be “Close-Up backup of yourfile.doc”.

Rename the existing file always: If the file name you are transferring already exists on the other computer, then rename the file on the other computer, and then transfer the file. As an example say the original file name was “yourfile.doc”, after it is renamed it would be “Close-Up backup of yourfile.doc”.
