ChronoAgent 1.4.0

ChronoSync is an application that can be used to communicate with ChronoAgent to give you complete access to your source and destination Macs, making remote synchronizing easy.

ChronoAgent is a very simple utility that allows a copy of ChronoSync, located on another computer, to access all of the files on the ChronoAgent machine as if it was a locally attached hard drive.

An agent is simply a GUIless program that runs external to ChronoSync. ChronoAgent can easily be installed on the same machine as ChronoSync or on another computer and accessed via a network connection.

Here are some key features of "ChronoAgent":

· Full administrative access to all files regardless of the privileges of the logged in user who is running ChronoSync.
· The ability to communicate with remote machines without having to log in via an AppleShare
· account.
· Users don't need to be locally logged into remote machines.
· User/group ID mapping between machines.
· Limitations of a file server connection are circumvented.
· Increased performance.

Limitations:

· When in demo mode, a copy of ChronoSync can connect to this agent but it can only synchronize 500 files at a time over the agent connection.
