Quicktask

Use QuickTask for quickly copy or transfer files to either local or remote storage. 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

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

Folder parameters

  • Local folder: a required field
  • Remote folder: a 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 parameters

  • Remote username: the username for logging into the remote server
  • Remote server: either the server name or IP address for the remote server
