Read-Only Syncing

One more question: When a new version of an existing file shows up on the master, how is the file on the Read-Only node updated? Is the old version of the file on the Read-Only node deleted before the new version is downloaded? Is there any time that the existing file on the Read-Only node inaccessible during the sync?

 

Thanks.

If you are UPDATING a file the changes are all incremental. The file is not deleted until the changed parts are received, then the file is updated. A backup (versioned) copy is created in the .SyncArchive folder. Same with name changes on a file.

 

However if you MOVE a file from one location (eg folder) to another on the master the file is first deleted on other clients, then is created anew in the new location. 

 

Some developer feel free to correct me but after almost a year of using this software these are the file changes I see on a daily basis.
