Can I synchronize folders without creating a task in advance?
We called this feature "Dynamic Task". It allows you to create or run tasks from command line without manually create them in advance. For example:
beyondsync.exe /type=temp /folder=c:\source<>d:\target /method=update-target /run
This command line will create a temporary task to synchronize folder c:\source and d:\target by using Sync Method "Update target folder only". The task will be deleted automatically when it's completed. If you want to keep the task, simply change the type to from "temp" to "permanent".
To delete a permanent task from command line mode. Pleas use "/del" option. For example:
beyondsync.exe /del="my task"
