CrushSync is an enterprise only feature. It provides real time file synchronizations through CrushFTP. The client runs on the local machine monitoring the specified folders. When a change is detected, the change is propagated to the CrushFTP server, and any other clients subscribed to that folder now get those same changes. Only the changed parts of large files are sent, compression is used to save on bandwidth, and bandwidth acceleration can be used as well. Client configurations can be pre-configured for deployment, and an advanced mode allows clients to encrypt the data at the client side so that the server can never access the raw data. Only clients that have the private key can. This allows for robust one way synchronizations where a client places a file in the folder, and its sent to the server encrypted, and downloaded and decrypted by other privileged clients. The client is launched as an automatically updating application over a web connection. You as the server administrator control when you want to update the application for end users.

When a user is logged into the WebInterface, you will see an icon next to the folders and files that are being synched. You can click the button to download the sync client if it has been added onto your user in the User Manager. You will be asked for a password, use something secure, this password will be needed every time you open the sync manager to control your sync agent(s).
The app itself is located here: \\
Windows: [https://www.crushftp.com/early10/CrushSync/CrushSync_windows.exe]\\
macOS: [https://www.crushftp.com/early10/CrushSync/CrushSync_macOS.zip]\\

On windows, you will have an icon in your system tray for the sync agent and on OS X you will have an icon in your menubar. There is no management UI on the machine, you do all of that through the WebInterface in the 'Sync Manager'.\\

The client needs to be configured to connect to your CrushFTP server. You can build a default configuration that gets distributed automatically with CrushSync downloads so that the user only need to enter in details like their username and password. You can take a look at the jnlp file in the WebInterface/CrushSync/ folder to see the reference it makes for a default configuration file.
You can configure everything in the client.

!!!Special, macOS only daemon install requirement
At line 57 changed one line
Here is a screenshot of OS X and Windows keeping the files in sync. One file was added on OS X, and the other on Windows, and they were cross replicated between the two different operating systems
macOS can no longer load our 'magical' native library that we use for listening into filesystem events. We have an alternative method, but it requires a one time daemon install command.\\
\\
First, find your CrushSync folder, and decide where its going to stay...forever, no changes to it, no renaming the folder, etc.\\
{{{
cd /Applications/CrushSync_macOS/CrushSync.app/Contents/Resources/
sudo Java/bin/java -cp CrushTunnel.jar com.crushftp.client.CrushSyncFSWatchServer -i
}}}

[attchements|crushsync_osx_win.png]
Enter your admin password and your done. If you laterened to remove that daemon, change the "-i" to a "-r".
----
!!! Special, Windows service mode install
----
Make sure the "Start with login" option is not set in the tray icon context menu, if it is, remove it. Close CrushSync if it is running. Then open an elevated CMD or PowerShell session, change directory into the installation folder, usually C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\CrushSync\Resources , issue below command
{{{
.\Java\bin\java.exe -jar CrushTunnel.jar inline_script "service sync;quit"
}}}
Check the state of service in the Services console , or from command line
{{{
sc query "CrushSync Server"
}}}
''Alternatively you can do a simpler install using the CrushTunnel.jar file from your WebInterface folder instead of using that buried deep folder as referenced above. Just be sure to copy your existing prefs.XML into it as you cannot access a systray to configure the service version.
