The Remote Synchronization dialog box enables you to specify the synchronization operations that the IDE performs when synchronizing the contents of a local folder with the contents of a folder on a remote server.
You open the dialog box by right-clicking the Source Files folder in the Projects window and choosing Synchronize in the popup menu.
| Element | Description | 
|---|---|
| Show Planned Operations | Select the operations that you want the IDE to perform during the synchronization. The IDE can perform multiple operations when synchronizing files. | 
| Download | Download the remote version. Overwrite the local version if one exists. | 
| Upload | Upload the local version to the server. Overwrite the remote version if one exists. | 
| No Operation | Do not synchronize the file. | 
| Delete | Delete both local and remote versions of the file. | 
| Show Problems | Select the synchronization problems that the IDE displays. | 
| Warning | Show warning icons. Warnings indicate problems that are not severe enough to prevent synchronization. | 
| Error | Show error icons. Errors are problems severe enough to prevent synchronization. | 
| File Conflict | File Conflict icons indicate that both the local and the remote version of the file changed since the last synchronization. | 
| File vs. Directory Collision | The path to a local file is the path to a directory on the server, or the reverse. For example, there's a local file called /my/file but on the server /my/file/ is a directory. | 
| Symbolic Link | File is only a symbolic link pointing to another file. | 
| Check All | Click to show all planned operations. | 
| Uncheck All | Click Uncheck All to show no planned operations. | 
| Files Table | This table displays a list of operations that the IDE plans for files, on a per file basis. You can select individual files to modify the planned operation for that file. You can sort the list by clicking a column header. Additional information appears at the bottom of the table for any rows you select. For example, if you select 4 rows, you see a summary of the operations and problems for those rows, such as "3 downloads, 0 uploads, 1 no-op, 0 deletions, 0 errors, 0 warnings." If you select a row and there is an error associated with the operation in that row, details about that error appear, such as "Error (FILE_NAME): Non-existing file cannot be updated." The table contains the following columns. | 
| Problem icons | An icon appears if the planned operation has a problem of a type selected in the Show Problems section. | 
| Remote Path | The path to the remote copy of the file from the project's root directory. | 
| Planned Operations | The operation planned for the file, if the operation type is selected in the Show Planned Operations section. | 
| Local Path | The path to the local copy of the file from the project's root directory. | 
| Operations | Use the following buttons to specify the operation that is performed on the selected file or files. | 
| Diff | Review differences between remote and local file. The results of the diff are displayed in a new dialog box. | 
| No operation | Change the planned operation to "no-op." | 
| Download | Change the planned operation to "Download remote version." | 
| Upload | Change the planned operation to "Upload local version." | 
| Delete | Change the planned operation to "Delete both local and remote versions.". | 
| Reset | Reset all changes to the operations. | 
| Show Summary Before Start | Select this option to show a summary of synchronization operations before the synchronization starts. Review the operations in the summary dialog. Click OK in the summary and the synchronization progress dialog opens. | 
| Synchronize | Click to begin synchronization. The button is disable if there are any unresolved errors. If Show Summary Before Start is selected, a summary of synchronization operations appears. |
