Introduction
Did you ever make a mess of your file versions on your Desktop and your Laptop? Well I did !
Therefore I wrote a program that updates the older files with the newer ones. The program is easy to use; Once configured, only one click is needed to synchronize all you files.
ckSync is the name of that program. It runs under W95/98/00/NT/XP. The Demo version can be downloaded
free and is fully
functional during 30 days.
- ckSync lets you easily configure directories to be synchronized;
- ckSync lets you easily select extensions of files to be included in the synchronizing process;
- ckSync lets you synchronize one single file in a directory.
- ckSync lets you easily create Profiles to synchronize your Desktop with your Laptop, USB-stick or Network Drive;
- ckSync synchronizes your directories with one click.
- ckSync is bi-lingual. (Except for the Help pages; they are English only).
This means that in a Dutch/Flamish/South African version of Windows ckSync
speaks Dutch. Otherwise ckSync speeaks English.
Registration costs US$ 10,-. You will get an unlimited fully functional program. You will be alerted of updates by e mail. Registered users may
download them freely.
