Command Line Usage

This topic shows examples of how you can use Synchronize It! in a command line.

Syntax

wndsync.exe folder1 folder2 [files mask] [options]
wndsync.exe SessionName [options]

Where:

• folder1 and folder2 are the folders to compare. You can also use here archive name, ftp sessions name etc. Use quotes if name includes spaces: "Long Project Name"
• SessionName can be either Session or Project name. If you have Project and Session with same name (what is not recommended), Session will be picked by default. Use /P switch to select Project in such case.
• options are explained below:
  
  

  /P=ProjectName	Useful if you have sessions and projects with same names.
  /sync	select action: Synchronize
  /back	select action: Backup
  /update	select action: Update
  /copy	select action: Duplicate
  /auto	Automatic unattended run, no interface 1
  /show	When used with /auto displays main window to show progress. You can add digit at the end to change default 5s delay time before actions, /show0 will disable it.
  /show-	Same as /show, but do not close app if there were errors during process.
  /showA	Same as /show, but activate window instead of keeping it minimized at background
  /scan	Start folders comparison immediately
  /O	search orphan files only
  /M	search matched files only
  /R	include subfolders
  /RM	include matched subfolders only
  /X	exclude files by list, ex. /X"*.html *.css"
  /XD	exclude subfolders by list, ex. /XD"backup; My Pictures"
  /date	comparison mode: By date + size
  /smart	comparison mode: By date + content
  /cnt	comparison mode: By content
  /size	comparison mode: By size only
  /nolog	Disables logging for current session
  /log	Enables logging for current session 2
  /log0	Enables logging and force logging even if no files were copied 2
  /date:	Advanced filters: date range, see below
  /-	Advanced filters: not older then, see below
  /size	Advanced filters: size limit, see below
  /A	Use archive bit
  /H	Ignore hidden and system files
  /print [Printer_Name]	Print folders comparison report, quit afterwards. You can optionally specify printer name after /print.
  /report[:CS] report_file	Generates folders comparison report in HTML format. See below for report options details

Note 1: To prevent errors /auto switch will only work if you specify in command line either Session\Project name or source and target folders.
Note 2: Both /log and /log0 switches can be followed by alternative log file name with full path: /log c:\newlog.html

Using Advanced date filtering with command line

To filter files by date you can use one of these rules:

Not older then (/-)	Date range (/date:)
/-H3: 3 hours /-D : today /-D2: 2 days /-W: this week /-W4: 4 weeks /-M: this month /-M6: 6 months	/date:dd.mm.yyyy[-dd.mm.yyyy] If second date is omitted, only files modified after specified date are searched. /date:24.12.2005-01.01.2006 /date:01.01.2006

Advanced filters: limit search by file size

Here are few examples of correct command line for size filtering:

/size+100K	files greater then 100 KB
/size-10M	files less then 10 MB
/size=100	files with size equal to 100 bytes
