the Overwrite Setting drop-down menu:
Overwrite and don't deleteFiles in the destination location are overwritten with
files from the source location. Any files in the destination location that are not in the
source location are preserved.

from the source location. Any files in the destination location that are not in the source

location.

location are copied. No files are overwritten in the destination location.
From: Settings
1. In the From: section, click to select a source location. This is the location of the files you
want to copy. In the dialog, enter the Device Name or IP address in the text box, or select a
device from the list. If a connected device is not listed, click the Refresh button.
2. Click OK to save your selection or click Cancel.
3. The Protocol drop-down menu displays if the source device is different from the device you are
currently accessing; for example, it could be a separate NAS device on your network. From the
Protocol drop-down menu, choose one of the following:
Windows File SharingThe default value in the menu is Windows File Sharing and in
most cases you should accept the default value. For more information, refer to
Windows File Sharing.
rsyncThe rsync protocol can provide faster copying, but may not be available on all
devices. If you are able to select the rsync protocol, and you want the rsync Copy Job
to be secure, select the Use secure rsync (SSH) option. Enter the rsync username and
password for the rsync server to or from which you are copying. The rsync username
and password is set up on a different device than the device on which you are creating
the Copy Job. For more information on creating an rsync user, refer to rsync Server
Settings.
