Fling can be used to back up a folder to another location on a network, hard drive, or USB drive.
  • From the Fling main window, click New on the tool bar. This will open the Fling Folder Wizard for setting up your transfers.
  • Select the third option To back up files over a network and click Next.
  • Choose the location you want to back up or copy your files to using the Browse button. Click Next.
  • Choose the location on your computer you want to back up or copy files from using the Browse button. Click Next.
  • Choose how you want the transfer to take place. See Fling Folder Wizard ~ Scan and Update Mode in this manual for details about the options.
  • Fling will then create a Folder Entry for the transfer. Click OK to see the folder summary and to finish the wizard.
  • You may cancel the current upload by either pressing the "Cancel" button on the toolbar or pressing the Escape key.

Fling will regularly scan for new files and copy them. To copy all existing files you should also right-click on the folder in the main list on Fling and select Upload All Files.

Note: When set to automatic transfer, or scan at interval, Fling auto-detects files by date and using the archive attribute on the files. If you copy a file you may need to upload files manually.
