Synchronizing files without transferring dataYou must keep both local and server files synchronized for GoLive to perform synchronized uploads and newer downloads. GoLive lets you manually synchronize the modification times for your local site files and server files without transferring data. This is useful for cases in which the modification times of the local and the server files are out of sync even though you know that the files are identical. Files can get out of synchronization in a variety of ways. For instance, if you use a file transfer client other than GoLive to upload the file, and later try to synchronize the file from within GoLive, your local file appears older than the server file. The local file appears older because GoLive still refers to the timestamps it created the last time it uploaded the file. In order to keep the files synchronized, GoLive will try to download the server file that appears to be newer. Such downloads are unnecessary and might take a long time if multiple files are involved. Note: Synchronizing modification times for an entire site changes the modification times of all files, including any that have been edited but not yet uploaded to the server. These files will not be uploaded by GoLive the next time you do a synchronized upload because the modification times of the local files will match those on the server. If an upload gets interrupted, make sure you don't apply the Sync Modification Times command to files that weren't uploaded. To manually synchronize modification times without transferring files:
With the site open and GoLive connected to the publish server, do one of the following: |
