Replicator 1-2-3 is a utility, that
allows you to replicate, synchronize or delete one or more files, or folders to a number of remote
hosts. It comes handy when you need to quickly update files with a
new version or simply push a script or utility to your desktop machines, or
servers. Replicator has a simple one screen interface. Three step pointers are added for easy navigation.
Full feature command line options support running replicator from a
batch. Comes handy, when you need to schedule the replication with AT,
WinAT or similar programs (needs to be run interactively). Below is a short
manual and tips for Replicator usage.

Three Steps Replication
Start with selecting files to replicate. Two options are here. In the "Path to Files)" text box, type a full path to your file and then click "Add". You can use wildcards such as *.*; *.bat; *.dll etc. to select files. Existence of the file you typed is checked with "Add" click and prompted if not found. Alternatively click "Browse..." to select files from local or network drives. Use "Add Tree" to add a folder. All selected files will appear in "Files to be replicated" list box. From here you have an option to remove selected entries or clear list box if necessary.

Running:
Check all entries and click "Replicate". Progress bar at the bottom of the screen helps you to monitor the progress. Status window will show failed and successful connections. You can clear the status window by clicking "Clear Status" and view the log file with "Show Log" button at the end. Optionally you can "Transfer" list of "Failed Connections" to the hosts list. This operation will override the current hosts list. You can then save the session and try to replicate to the "failed list" again later. Test Mode: I encourage you to use this mode first, when using Replicator to delete or synchronize files and folder. In the Test Mode program will simulate file replication and log the result into Test Log (available at the Show Log window, by checking "Test Mode Log"). Replicator will actually evaluate the existence of the files and folders on the source and destination and report all file/folder manipulations such as delete, copy, create as they would occur. Sessions: From the file menu you have an option to save and open existing sessions. The extension for the session files is ".sss". You may want create an association with Repl123.exe. Command Line: There you have complete batch support with the command line switches. The syntax is as follows: Repl123.exe Session_File.sss Options [/S] [/N] [/P] [/X] [/T] Session_File.sss --- Any valid
session file. Expl: Repl123 c:\temp\script files\test.sss /S /N /P /X /T Note: Do not use quotes on the
command line. Spaces are handled by the application. Use /X only with
/S. |
