Cyberduck Help / Howto / Synchronize Folders

Files can be synchronized by selecting the directory to synchronize in the browser and select File → Synchronize.

You will be prompted to select the directory on your computer to synchronize the files with. Cyberduck will only attempt to synchronize files that are of different size. Based on the modification date the file will be downloaded or uploaded from/to the server. You will be prompted to confirm the actions and if missing files should only be download, uploaded or mirrored.

Mirror Files

Files are transferred in both directions and created if missing or replaced with the newer file on either system depending on the timestamp.

Only Download Files

Files are downloaded that match one of the following criteria:

• Do not exist on the local filesystem
• Have a newer timestamp on the server

No files are uploaded.

Only Upload Files

Files are uploaded that match one of the following criteria:

• Do not exist on the server
• Have a newer timestamp on the local filesystem

No files are downloaded.
