This component is the focal point of 'CIS utilities'. It enables the synchronization of one or more folders locally or over the Microsoft Windows Network, i.e. it copies the contents of the folder (files and subfolders) to the specified shared folder on a local computer network.
The utility checks the existence of each and every file on the target folder and actually copies only new or modified files. Files that were copied earlier, but have been in the meanwhile removed from the source folder, are deleted from the target folder. If it is used to accompany SWIFT Alliance, CIS Synchronize can back up the whole C:\Win32App\Swift folder over the network, all the application and program data. This backup is more reliable than a tape backup or write to CD/DVD and lasts only a fraction of the time needed to create the tape or burn CD/DVD.

This utility enables automatic deletion of obsolete files from specified folders and their subfolders. The file becomes obsolete if it was modified more than N days ago. This parameter N, the number of days for which a file should be kept, can be independently specified for each folder.
A shortcut to 'CIS Delete' could be placed to the Startup submenu under the Programs submenu of the Start menu.
If it is used to accompany SWIFT Alliance, 'CIS Delete' can, for example, automatically delete those less important printed messages which were not printed on paper, but actually "printed" to a file for future reference, if needed. These files tend to hog up valuable disk space.

Long-term archives are maintained using the 'CIS Relocate' utility. It moves files or subfolders from a folder, which is used on a day-to-day basis, to less frequently used media, perhaps to CD-R or CD-RW (recordable or rewriteable compact discs).
Of course, the destination folder may, be on located the same disk, on a different medium on the same machine, or across the Microsoft Windows Network.
The file is moved if it was modified more than N days ago. This parameter N, the number of days for which a file remains in its original folder, can be independently specified for each folder.
A shortcut to 'CIS Relocate' could be placed to the Startup submenu under the Programs submenu of the Start menu.
If it is used to accompany SWIFT Alliance, 'CIS Relocate' can, for example, automatically move from the C:\Win32App\Swift\Alliance\Server\Archive folder every file, which is older than let's say 30 days to a folder that is not replicated over the network.

With this component, files can be automatically transferred from one computer to another, using the Microsoft Windows Network or the TCP/IP File Transfer Protocol. The utility transfers all files (subfolders are omitted) from the specified folder to a remote location. If the transfer of a file is successful, it is archived (moved to a predefined folder);

To specify the folders, the contents of which should be synchronized, deleted, relocated or transferred, use 'CIS Configuration', a tabbed dialog, which has a tab for each component of 'CIS utilities';
