Select when and how folders will be uploaded from this dialog, which is found on the second tab of the Folder Properties dialog. There are more advanced upload settings offered here than are in the Fling Folder Wizard.
Note: All automatic file update modes are based on file modified date and archive attribute. If you copy an earlier file you might need to upload it manually (right-click, Fling->Upload).
Manual (right-click on file(s) and select Fling->Upload)
When this option is selected, upload a file by right-clicking on the file in Windows Explorer and selecting Fling->Upload.
Automatic (update whenever a change is detected)
When this option is selected, Fling will try to auto-detect changes in the folder and upload any new or changed files automatically.
Scan Folder for changes
When selected to upload changed files select the site and click the Scan button. Fling will then scan through the folders for any changes that need to be uploaded.
See the Scan Folder Options below for more options.
Do not allow deletion of remote files
When ticked, you will not be allowed delete remote files and folders.
Delete local file after upload
When ticked, the original file will be deleted after upload or file transfer. This option is not recommended.
Delete empty subfolders after upload
When ticked, if a subfolder is emptied after upload or file transfer, the subfolder will be deleted as well.
Exclude files based on the mask:
When ticked, Fling will not upload any files with a name matching the mask.
Files to exclude
Exclude these types of files, Fling will use these file patterns to test if the files are allowed to be uploaded.
Multiple file patterns should be separated by a semi-colon.
For example, the pattern *.exe;*.bak;old*.*
will prevent any files matching *.exe, *.bat or old*.* from being transferred.
Do not allow files without an extension
When ticked, Fling will not upload files that have no extension.
Exclude folders based on the mask:
When ticked, Fling will not upload folders that match the mask.
This is helpful when using Fling on directories that are source controlled and you don't want the .svn folder (for example) to be uploaded. This is also useful if there is a "temp" subdirectory in your Fling folder you do not want uploaded.
For example the pattern .svn;C:\MyFolder\temp
will not upload anything in any subdirectory called ".svn" or anything in the specific directory "C:\MyFolder\temp".
Include only files based on the mask:
When ticked, Fling will only upload files with a name that matches the mask.
Files to include
Include only these types of files, Fling will use these file patterns to test if the files should be uploaded.
Multiple file patterns should be separated by a semi-colon.
For example the pattern *.doc;*.xls;file*.*
will allow only files matching *.doc, *.xls or file*.* to be transferred.
Scan Folder Options
Scan Folder Options are applied when Scan folder for changes has been selected as the Scan and Update mode.
Scan Folder on Demand
When selected, Fling will only upload files in the folder when you select the folder and click Scan. Files can also be updated individually by right-clicking and selecting Fling->Upload from Windows Explorer.
Scan at Preset Interval
When this option is selected, Fling will regularly scan the folder for any changes and transfer any changed or new files at the interval you specify.
Check Interval in Minutes:
If the Scan mode has been selected, designate how many minutes Fling should wait between scans.Synchronization Options
Synchronisation Options are applied when Scan folder for changes has been selected as the Scan and Update mode.
Upload Only
When this option is selected, Fling will only automatically upload files to the FTP site.
Download Only
When this option is selected, Fling will only automatically download files from the FTP site.
The scanned download is done by checking the modified times of the files in the remote folder/FTP site.
Synchronize
When selected Fling will upload and download files to synchronize both folders.
Be careful when using this option. If the same file has been modified on both the local and remote folders, Fling will overwrite one of the files with the preferred file.
