Appendix B

Using the PowerBook File Assistant

The PowerBook File Assistant is software that synchronizes files on your PowerBook and desktop Macintosh by automatically updating files whenever you make changes. With File Assistant, you can always be sure that the file you are working on is the current version.

What is file synchronization?

If you use two Macintosh computers, you may often have the same file or folder on both computers. But you may have a problem keeping track of what files are on what computer.

With the PowerBook File Assistant you can make sure you always have the most recent version of a file or folder on both computers. The process of updating the files on both computers is called file synchronization. With the PowerBook File Assistant, you can synchronize individual files or folders.

Before you can use the PowerBook File Assistant to synchronize files, you need to connect your PowerBook to another Macintosh. For instructions, see “Using Your PowerBook as a SCSI Disk” in Chapter 9 of this manual, or Chapter 7, “Using Your Computer on a Network,” in the Macintosh Reference manual.
