A job pairs one content provider with one local folder. Add as many as you need; each keeps its own server, credentials, folders, sync mode, comparison rule and schedule.
The job list
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Tick box | Whether AUTO includes this job. |
| Job | Your name for it. |
| Server | user@host:port. Hover to see the remote and local paths. |
| Mode | NEW + CHANGED, FULL SYNC or NEW ONLY, plus + PRUNE when pruning is on. |
| Schedule | Every 30 min, Every hour at :55, Daily at 03:00, Weekdays 06:00, 18:00. |
| Next run | Due time, or running…, queued, disabled, manual. |
| Last result | Time and counts. Shown in red when the run had errors. |
Managing jobs
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add / Edit / Remove | Manage the list. |
| Duplicate | The quick way to add a second folder from the same provider — copies the server and credentials so you only change the paths. |
| Test | Checks the selected job's credentials and lists the remote folder. |
| Sync Now | Runs just the selected job, regardless of its schedule. |
| Sync All Jobs Now | Queues every enabled job. Available from the app menu and the tray icon. |
| Stop | Cancels the running job and clears the rest of the queue. |
Jobs never run in parallel
Only one job transfers at a time. When several fall due together they line up and run in order.
This is deliberate. Several simultaneous sessions against a shared host is a reliable way to get throttled or blocked, and parallel jobs would compete for the same upstream bandwidth without finishing any sooner.
Folders and exclusions
| Setting | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Remote path | The folder to mirror, e.g. /public_html/recordings. |
| Local folder | Where files land. Use a dedicated folder, not a shared library. |
| Exclude | Semicolon-separated wildcards matched against file and folder names, e.g. *.tmp; cache*; .htaccess. |
Excluded files are never downloaded, and are never deleted locally either — so an exclusion is also a way to protect local-only files inside a mirrored folder.
