Target File/Folder Alterations

Target File/Folder Alterations These options can be found in the Miscellaneous window.
Use intermediate file during copy	If this box is checked, a temporary file will be created in the Target Folder: the contents of the Source File will then be copied into this temporary file. After a successful copy, the Target File will be deleted and the temporary file will be renamed to bear the Target File name. This feature ensures that the updated file will only replace the Target File if copy is successful. If the copy process should be interrupted because of some outside factor (network down, power outage, etc), the original Target file will still be preserved. This option is enabled/disabled automatically when the Bi-directional or Revisioning options are enabled/disabled.
Trigger additional event after successful copy	When this option is checked PeerSync will apply the time stamp of the target file after successfully completing the file transfer in order to trigger an event on the target side. This action will cause the PeerSync installed on the Target to take further action with the file such as transferring it to another location that is not accessible from the originating machine.
Transfer NT security descriptions (ACLs)	If this feature is checked, PeerSync will transfer over and match the security descriptions (ACLs) to the Target file upon synchronization, under Windows NT platforms. When this option is enabled, the "ACL Options" and Global Settings link will be enabled for further configuration.
ACL Options	This dialog is available if you enable Transfer NT security descriptions (ACLs) or click on the" ACL Options" button located on the Miscellaneous window. The options in this dialog allow you to specify the types of permissions you want PeerSync to transfer.
Force target file attribute settings	If this feature is selected, the File Attributes Options dialog will be displayed. In this dialog, you may select to force any attribute on or off for the Target files that are synchronized within the selected Job(s).
File Attribute Options	This dialog provides the user the selection to ignore, force on, or force off attribute settings on Target files that are synchronized within the selected Job(s).

1.Care must be exercised when using ACL options to synchronize files and folders between different domains. File security transfers could make the target file inaccessible after transfer/update.

2.When you use a local drive letter (either for the source or target path) you need to make sure the drive is assigned as an administrative share (i.e. D$) in order for ACLs to work properly.
