QuickTask

Use QuickTask to quickly copy or transfer files. QuickTask remembers the last task as defaults; you can clear them via the toolbar. QuickTask works only with remote servers and requires passwordless SSH login.

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 Slash Options

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

After entering data, the default task is a --dry-run task. Inspect the result before executing the actual run.
