Mapping of File Events to Actions¶
File System Events¶
The File Agent raises the following events in response to local changes:
- Creation
- Modification
- Deletion
- Move (also raised for renames)
Actions¶
The actions that can be performed in response to local events are:
- Upload the file
- Delete the file from the server
- Flag the file in Conflict
Mappings¶
Local file events map to actions as follows:
| File Event | Local Exists | Server Exists | C==S(0) | Network Action | Local Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Create / Change | Yes | No | NA | Upload | Mark Normal |
| Yes | Yes | Skip | Mark Normal | ||
| No | Upload | Mark Normal | |||
| No | _ | _ | Skip | Delete Entry | |
| Delete | _ | Yes | _ | Trash | Delete Entry |
| No | _ | Skip1 | Delete Entry | ||
| Move | _ | _ | _ | Rename | Mark Normal, Rename Entry |
[1] The client always tries to move the server file to the Trash. If the file does not exist, the client ignores the 404 error, effectively skipping the file.
Legend
C==S(0) : Local file hash matches the current server hash
NA : Info not available
_ : Do not check
