Hi,

My request is simple, how to easily synchronize two folders? If there is a modification in a folder(if a file is added, suppressed, modified or renamed), the modication will be duplicate in the "clone" folder.

Hi faulk,

There is no dedicated task/job for this, but you can make such a construction yourself by making several jobs, file create / file delete / dir create / dir delete.
Set a trigger corresponding to the job names on the 1st (master) folder and have tasks in the jobs to process the changes.

We have such a setup ourselves and we are using one extra job scheduled a few time a day that is doing a full sync, to be sure we missed nothing. This is using an external tool. I think we used rsync for this. Think, because nowadays we are syncing over ftp, so we use a different tool at the moment.

You have to setup your trigger jobs to put them in queue, so you won't miss any file changes.

!! WHATS-OUT !!
There is a Windows limit capturing a lot of file changes at the same time and Visualcron gets file changes from the Windows OS. That's why there is an extra job doing the full sync.
If this is happening, your event trigger will be disabled. And you are going to miss more file changes. You have to manually enable the file trigger again.

Read this post: 4.9.40 file trigger (queued job) .
