QuickTask

Use QuickTask to 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 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. It is recommended to inspect the result before executing the actual run.
