Quick Sync

A new feature in GetRight 5.0!
Quick Sync lets you search web sites or FTP sites for files to download. It is similar to the GetRight browser, but can show the results for an entire web site at once. It is helpful if you want to download a lot of files scattered throughout a web site. (All the images or ZIP or MP3 files, for example.) Or if you want to download the entire web site, it can do that, too!

URL

This is the 'base URL' where Quick Sync will begin searching.
FTP: This will only search subdirectories of the primary search directory. It will not 'back up' to the root of the server if the search is not begun there.
HTTP: This will only search web pages in the main search directory or subdirectories of it. It will not follow links to parent directories or to other domains. If you want to search an entire web site, be sure you begin at the base url. It will, however, show results which are found in other directories or on other domains.

Download to

This is the 'base directory' where you want to save the files on your computer.
Quick Sync and GetRight will re-create the directory structure of the site you are downloading from if files are located in other directories!

Filter

This allows you to filter your results, if you do not want to see every file. If you are looking for EXE files or MP3 files, etc. this filter can be used accordingly.

Search Depth

This lets you decide how much you want to search the web site. Whether just the one page, or the page and all linked pages, or the entire web site.
NOTE: Searching the entire site is a registered only feature.

Don't go forever...

Some web sites are BIG.
This setting can help to keep searches from getting too overblown. Be sure you know what you are getting into if you choose to search the entire web site and turn this setting off...
(This can get insane if you turn this off and search with the 'search entire web site' setting above. If you do this and then go trying to index all of yahoo or microsoft or some other huge web site you will probably crash your computer if you let it go long enough. You've been warned.)

Ok (Search!)

OK: Searches using the current settings.
Cancel: Doesn't search.
Did you really need that explained?

Re-Search

Opens a new search window so you can change or refine your serach.

Export File List

If you want to save a search, but don't want to download the files right away, you can export a download list. Available formats are:
GRX GetRight's standard export file list.
HTM A web page with links to all the files.
LST or URLS A simple text list with all the URLs.
NOTE: If you want to re-create the server's directory structure when importing downloads that have been exported, be sure to use the GRX format.

Advanced Select

Similar to the 'Filter' on the search page, but allows you to create or add or subtract from a selection of files by file type, wildcards, etc.

OK All

Closes the search results window and adds all the files to the download list.

OK Selected

Closes the search results window and adds the selected files to the download list.

Close Window

Closes the search results but does not add any files to the download list.

This is the list of files that have been found by the search.
