CrushSync is an enterprise only feature. It provides real time file synchronizations through CrushFTP. The client runs on the local machine monitoring the specified folders. When a change is detected, the change is propagated to the CrushFTP server, and any other clients subscribed to that folder now get those same changes. Only the changed parts of large files are sent, compression is used to save on bandwidth, and bandwidth acceleration can be used as well. Client configurations can be pre-configured for deployment, and an advanced mode allows clients to encrypt the data at the client side so that the server can never access the raw data. Only clients that have the private key can. This allows for robust one way synchronizations where a client places a file in the folder, and its sent to the server encrypted, and downloaded and decrypted by other privileged clients. The client is launched as an automatically updating application over a web connection. You as the server administrator control when you want to update the application for end users.

Use a URL pointing at your own server something like this:

There needs to be a local folder configured for synchronization, as well as the server path. Typically this is going to just be a single slash unless you are only synching to a sub directory of a user.

__Configuring the Client__
!!!Starting the Sync
At line 37 removed one line
The client needs to be configured to connect to your CrushFTP server. You can build a default configuration that gets distributed automatically with CrushSync downloads so that the user only need to enter in details like their username and password. You can take a look at the jnlp file in the WebInterface/CrushSync/ folder to see the reference it makes for a default configuration file.

Once all comparisons are done, it will sit idle in an 'Active' green window state. The realtime file monitor is watching for any changes occurring in the folder you have configured. Any changes, renames, deletes, etc will then be propagated to the CrushFTP server so that other CrushSync clients can replicate them locally.
