TIP 221: Synchronizing Files and Deleting Server Extras


When you have multiple offices or different people working on the same site, it can be tricky to keep all the files synchronized and not accidentally copy over newer files. The new Synchronize command helps keep everything up to date and also satisfies a long-standing feature request from customers, making it easier to delete unnecessary files on the server.

To use the Synchronize command, open the Site window, connect to the publish server, and choose Site > Publish Server > Synchronize All. You can also click the Synchronize icon in the toolbar to open the Synchronize dialog. GoLive takes a moment to compare the local and remote files and shows a dialog with two side-by-side files lists (Figure 221).

Figure 221. The Synchronize dialog lets you upload, download, and delete files so everything is synched up again.


Scan files in the list and click the pull-down menu between each pair of files to specify the action that you want to occur. When you're ready to synchronize, click OK and let GoLive synchronize all the files.

  • Skip: This is the default action, and unless you have a lot of files out of sync this will apply for most files.

  • Upload: If the local file is newer, choose Upload.

  • Download: If the remote file is newer, choose Download.

  • Delete: If the remote file is unnecessary, you can delete it, but be careful not to accidentally delete server files such as scripts and databases.
