6.1. Setting up Source and Destination

The SetSource method is used to set the source folder for a synchronization operation. The "local" or "remote" keywords can be set to indicate if the source folder is a local folder or a remote folder. The "include" or "exclude" keywords can be used to include or exclude a list of files and folders from the synchronization operation.

The SetDestination method is used to set the destination folder for a synchronization operation. The "local" or "remote" keywords can be set to indicate if the destination folder is a local folder or a remote folder. The "preserve" or "remove" keywords can be used to preserve or remove a list of files and folders that are present only in the destination.
