What SmartSynchronize is
SmartSynchronize is a multi-platform file and directory compare tool. It can compare or 3-way-merge files and edit the file content.
SmartSynchronize is specialized in comparing directory structures, e.g. of software projects, and keeps them synchronized.
What it is not
SmartSynchronize is not designed as a backup tool or for synchronizing with remote hosts, e.g. FTP. It does not know about platform-dependent file attributes like executable flags or other permissions.
