Quicktask

Use QuickTask for quickly copy or transfer files to either source or destination. QuickTask will save the last executed quick task as default values. Default values can be cleared by the toolbar function.

There are two types of quick tasks:

  • synchronize - synchronize local files to remote, aka push data
  • syncremote - synchronize remote files to local, aka pull data

Trailing /

  • Add - add a trailing slash to both the source and destination
  • Do not add - do not add a trailing slash, or if added remove it
  • Do not check - do not check for trailing slash or not on either the source or destination

After entering data, the default task is a --dry-run task. It is recommended to inspect the result before executing the actual run.

  • Source folder - required field
  • Destination folder - required field
    • a ~ is expanded as the home directory with the full path by the remote operating system
    • the remote directory may also be specified by full path, depending on where the backup directory is located on the remote server

  • Remote username - username for login to the remote server
  • Remote server - either server name or IP address for the remote server
