The DirsSync software allows for easy synchronization of directories, providing users with a convenient and efficient way to manage file transfers and ensure data consistency.
This software review is for DirsSync, an application written in Python using wxPython libraries. DirsSync is a handy tool that allows you to compare your local directories with a remote directory and synchronize them, all with a simple click. This feature is especially useful for syncing important directories on a server or USB drive with your local directories.
Another great use case for DirsSync is when multiple people can modify files. With the tool, you can always get the latest versions of files from the server and synchronize them with your local directories without any hiccups. The software can check more than one directory in a single process, prompting you to synchronize the directories and sub-directories with your local machine.
Additionally, DirsSync allows you to refuse to synchronize specific files or a whole sub-directory, giving you greater control over the process. You can also select the type of files that should not be synchronized for each directory, enabling you to prevent the syncing of files like .zip files in the future.
Requirements for using this software are Python and wxPython, which are easy to install. The new release of DirsSync includes several bug fixes and enhancements requested by some of the testers. Most notably, it allows users to synchronize with an FTP server, which opens up endless possibilities for the tool. However, not all FTP servers will work with the software, as not all of them follow the standard specifications (RFC 959).
To verify if your FTP server will work with DirsSync, you can run specific commands to see if it supports everything necessary for the software to function properly. You can use "telnet 25" to ensure that all supported commands are present, and then try "user," "pass," and "help" to test everything.
Overall, DirsSync provides a great solution for synchronizing remote directories with your local directories. It is easy to set up and use, and its features give you greater control over the syncing process. It is a software worth trying out for anyone who needs to synchronize directories regularly.
