Volume Mounting
When you select a source, destination, or archive folder on a remote server, Synk can remember the login details of that server, and automatically connect to the server (disconnecting afterwards) whenever the script is run.
Synk 6 currently supports the following server types:
- AFP: Standard Apple file-sharing protocol.
- SMB/CIFS: Default file-sharing protocol for Microsoft Windows.
To have Synk remember your login credentials, do the following:
- Select the remote folder as a source, destination, or archive location. If you have previously set this folder as the source, destination, or archive location, click "Edit" in the lower-right hand corner of the definition area.
- In the edit pane, choose "Automatically mount for run if not already mounted".
- Enter the username and password for the remote server.
Should the server you are connecting to be an unsupported type, or if you don't want Synk to automatically connect to it when running, simply leave the checkbox disabled.
