Synchronize directories

One use of Total Commander is to sync two computer over the local network.
Here we sync the local files of a cloud before connecting to the cloud itself.

Ignore Lists

Ignore lists are used to disable certain functionalities, in particular for sync operations.

The video explains how to sync the ignore lists among three tools:

• Total Commander
• Pcloud Sync
• Remove Empty Directories (RED)

The way we do it is:

1. Copy all sync patterns into an editor
2. Sort the rows alphabetically
3. Remove the duplicate rows
4. We separate between files (on top) and folders (on bottom)
5. Copy the rows into the different tools. RED has two entries, one for folders and one for files.
6. Pcloud requires a semicolon instead of a new line. One can do this change of separator manually or replacing new line by semicolon
