The Sync Tool is a utility which was created in order to provide a simple way to move files from a local file system to DuraCloud and subsequently keep the files in DuraCloud synchronized with those on the local system.
Download the Sync Tool from the Downloads page. Note that this is the same file as is available via the "Get Sync Tool" button on the DuraCloud UI.
The Sync Tool has two interfaces, providing the choice of whether the user prefers a command line or a graphical display.
As of DuraCloud version 2.2.0, the Sync Tool requires Java 7 to run. The latest version of Java can be downloaded from here. |
You must have Java version 7 or above installed on your local system. If Java is not installed, or if a previous version is installed, you will need to download and install Java 7. To determine if the correct version of Java is installed, open a terminal or command prompt and enter
java -version |
The version displayed should be 1.7.0 or above. If running this command generates an error, Java is likely not installed.
