Sync files that arent in same subfolders inboth directories?

Post by *ambarvalente »

I have a folder named 'PRODUCCION' two times.
In one of them (A) i reordered all the files in subfolders.
But then i realized that all the files in A have the same date (15-02-2013, although they are from 2009, or 2011, and etc) (Box.com 'did' this).

As i always serach files by older or newer i need to recover original dates.
And i have a copied folder 'PRODUCCION' (B) for that with the right dates.
But there files are mixed in an older way of ordering them.
In (A) i created subfolders and reordered.

Is there any way to Transfer Dates (file properties) from (B) files to (A) files, no mather having different pahts / location?

Or,
Is there any way to Replace Files from (B) to (A), no mather having different pahts / location?

The Sync/Compare function doesnt work detecting them as equal files because they are not in the same subfolders in both directories.

Isnt there anything like 'Ignore Location' function??

Would be so good!

Any idea how can i solve it.. ?

* Search for duplicates in (A);(B)
* Press Ctrl+C
* Paste in your favourite editor.
* Use macro or search/replace functions of editor to transform the list into download list format like this: copy:<source file> -> <target file>
* Execute download list using menu option Net/FTP Download From Llist
