Moving Files & Folders

How does ViceVersa handle moving files and folders? For example the Smith Folder and associated files.

PC1 c:\current\Smith is moved to c:\old\Smith

PC2 has c:\current\Smith

PC3 has c:\current\Smith

Will ViceVersa move c:\current\Smith to a new folder c:\old\Smith on PC2 and PC3 on the next sync?

Does ViceVersa move the folder Smith or does it delete c:\current\Smith and copy to a new folder c:\old\Smith?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

The synchronization method in ViceVersa PRO will delete c:\current\Smith and copy to a new folder c:\old\Smith on PC2 and PC3.

thanks

Is there a way to move only newer files without deleting unmatched files on the target? I use that sort of operation with removable media such as camera images.

Yes, in ViceVersa PRO it's the Replication (Augment) method with source being the camera folder. thanks

Thanks. I believe Replication will copy the files, but still leave the original files on the source. I was looking for an operation that will move the files. Maybe it can be done in two operations, but I haven't figured that out yet, other than manually deleting the copied files.
