LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Customizing an Xchange Agent, Changing the direction of copy

Customizing an Xchange Agent

Instead of a two-way synchronization, you can customize an agent so that files within folder pairs are copied in one direction only, from one computer to the other. Among other modifications, you can create a shortcut icon to run an agent directly from the desktop, run an agent without a preview, and limit synchronizations just to the files that already appear on both computers.

To change the direction of the copy, click one or more of the folders.

Then click either the left or right arrow button to specify the direction.

To customize an agent, you must open it from within LapLink or Xchange Agent.

To open an agent:

•In LapLink, click Open Xchange Agent on the Sync- Tools menu. Click the agent file and then click Open.

OR

•In Xchange Agent, click Open Xchange Agent on the File menu. Click the agent file and then click Open.

Changing the direction of copy

When you create an Xchange Agent, all folder pairs are set for a two-way exchange of files. Files are copied in both directions, until the folders on both computers are identical.

You can modify this by specifying that files in a folder pair be copied in one direction only, so that only one folder updates the other.

NOTE To customize an agent, you must be in edit mode. If you are previewing, click the Close Preview button on the toolbar.
