'Select All' button selects all the contents of the current folder in the list. Note that a folder is selected with all its subfolders.
The second button deselects all the previous selected items.
You have to select items, files and folders, when you want to consider them equal or different with no regard to their dates or sizes. See the next buttons.
Forcing update or not
Used on a selection of items, files and folders.
Considering 2 files equal : if the file is present here, web takes the local parameters to avoid an update. If the file is present only on the Web, it will be ignored and removed from the external directory list managed by AblyClicClic, but not from the Web.
Considering 2 files different : web parameters are reset to force update. If the file is present only on the Web, it will be ignored and removed from the external directory list managed by AblyClicClic.
Using thoses buttons is not required for a normal use but may be interesting for ponctual operations.
Warning
Those conventional buttons control the sense of update, and avoid non wanted operations.
'Danger' means that operations become from the Web to local : only import contents or directory from the Web are allowed.
'End Danger' returns to normal sens : only upload is allowed.
They do not make any Internet call.
Note that icons and background colours change like the update sense.
Updating the Web
This button connects to the host and executes all the operations needed to copy the local folder to the Web folder . After the setting of the first time, it is the uniq operation needed to maintain the Web updated permanently.
This button is invisible when loging as anonymous.
Downloading
This button connects to the host and executes all the synchronize operations to copy the Web folder to the local folder . Warn ! This operation is rarely needed with personal sites.
Reading Web directory
It is the first operation to do the first time you want to manage a site if you know it is not empty. Then, AblyClicclic, assuming that it is the uniq modifier of the site, maintains its own folder contents list.
Note that getting a directory by FTP is the less standardized FTP operation. If you have difficulties with a particular type of host, please eMail maintain service to fix it.
Red button is for global filelist , blue for import files filelist and green for a selection when you click with the right button of the mouse.
Erasing all the Web contents
It is a very dangerous button to do a very rare operation. After confirmation, all the contents of the Ftp entry are deleted. You can get the same result if you tell AblyClicClic to upload from an empty local folder.
Updating
Connection to the host and execution of all the operations needed to copy the local folder to the Web folder ( or the opposite in the another sense ). After the setting of the first time, it is the uniq operation needed to maintain the Web updated permanently.
