copy profiles from PC to MAC

Postby jbehshad on Fri Apr 15, 2011 12:21 pm

Is there a way to copy the profiles on my PC over to my MAC?
It would save me tons of time.

Yes you can import the INI file. The location of the INI file is shown on the Program Settings dialog (F8).

The import function can be found in the menu that pops up when you click on the Gears toolbar item on the Profile Overview (in Advanced Mode).

Which usernames and passwords? There are various dialogs where such can be specified. Are you talking about FTP?

I think the program can't find the server. You need to enter fully qualified Internet URLs or IP addresses. LAN server names are not supported.

Hello,

network drives are mounted into the main file system. They are accessed via a mount point such as /Volumes/Anetworkname. In the MacOS Finder, you can try browsing the network or hit Cmd-K to enter a Samba network path such as smb://server/share.

Then, in the Superflexible profile, you can browse to the volume and choose it.

For the program to be able to mount the volume automatically in the future, you need to specify the network path unter Job->Mount Volumes.

In the latest Mac version of our software, you can specify additional identification criteria for the volume. This additional identification can prevent problems because the mounting process under MacOS is not 100% reliable, i.e. a volume can be mounted twice, and the mount point can change all the time. In case of a mount point confusion, the program might even write to the local hard drive rather than the network volume. These ID methods try to solve that.

You can choose to ID it by total volume size and/or a file name from its root directory. That way, a mounted volume can be recognized even if MacOS does not officially list it. The total volume size is probably the most efficient way to ID the volume, unless you have different network shares to the same hard disk partition or several hard disk partitions that have exactly the same size. In that case, please create a unique filename that serves for identification at the top level of the file shares that you will use.
