How to set up synchronization with SFTP-server

In the stand-alone mode @MAX SyncUp allows synchronizing the folders saved on your computer with the folders kept on removable drives, networked PCs or NAS, on FTP, SFTP or WebDAV-servers or on Google Drive.

Let's say, for instance, you need to keep the same collection of photos on your personal laptop and the server of your company that you have access through SFTP.

To synchronize files and folders, follow the steps below:

  1. Run the program.

  2. On the toolbar click the New profile button

    This opens the New profile wizard. The first tab lets you select the profile type.
