Command Line Usage

This topic shows examples of how you can use Synchronize It! in a command line.

Syntax

wndsync.exe folder1 folder2 [files mask] [options]
wndsync.exe SessionName [options]

Where:

folder1 and folder2 are the folders to compare. You can also use here archive name, ftp sessions name etc. Use quotes if name includes spaces: "Long Project Name"
SessionName can be either Session or Project name. If you have Project and Session with same name (what is not recommended), Session will be picked by default. Use /P switch to select Project in such case.

options are explained below:

/P=ProjectName	Useful if you have sessions and projects with same names.
/sync	select action: Synchronize
/back	select action: Backup
/update	select action: Update
/copy	select action: Duplicate
/auto	Automatic unattended run, no interface 1
/show	When used with /auto displays main window to show progress
/show2	Same as /show, but do not close app if there were errors during process.
/scan	Start file scanning immediately
/O	search orphan files only
/M	search matched files only
/R	include subfolders
/RM	include matched subfolders only
/X	exclude files by list, ex. /X".html .css"
/XD	exclude subfolders by list, ex. /XD"backup; My Pictures"
/date	comparison mode: By date + size
/smart	comparison mode: By date + content
/cnt	comparison mode: By content
/size	comparison mode: By size only
/nolog	Disables logging for current session
/log	Enables logging for current session 2
/log0	Enables logging and force logging even if no files were copied 2
/date:	Advanced filters: date range
/-	Advanced filters: not older then
/A	Use archive bit
/H	Ignore hidden and system files

Note 1: To prevent errors /auto switch will only work if you specify in command line either Session\Project name or source and target folders.
Note 2: Both /log and /log0 switches can be followed by alternative log file name with full path: /log c:\newlog.html

Using Advanced date filtering with command line

To filter files by date you can use one of these rules:

Not older then (/-) Date range (/date:)

/-H3: 3 hours
/-D : today
/-D2: 2 days
/-W: this week
/-W4: 4 weeks
/-M: this month
/-M6: 6 months
/date:dd.mm.yyyy[-dd.mm.yyyy]
If second date is omitted, only files modified after specified date are searched.
/date:24.12.2005-01.01.2006
/date:01.01.2006
