Version 1.0.1

First Release: CLSync v1.0.1

We are excited to announce the first official release of CLSync, a robust Windows application designed to synchronize local directories with remote SFTP servers seamlessly. This initial version brings a host of powerful features aimed at ensuring efficient and reliable file synchronization.

Key Features

• Two-Way Synchronization: Synchronize files and directories between your local machine and a remote SFTP server, including nested directories.
• Automated Sync: Set a custom sync interval in seconds to automate the synchronization process.
• File Integrity Check: Utilizes MD5 hashing to compare file contents, ensuring only updated files are transferred, minimizing data transfer and ensuring integrity.
• File Deletion Sync: Automatically deletes files on the remote server if they no longer exist locally.
• System Tray Application: Runs silently in the system tray with options to configure settings and view sync status.
• Configurable Settings: Easily set and save your SFTP connection details and sync preferences via a user-friendly configuration form.
• Logging: Detailed logs of all synchronization operations are saved to c:\CLSync\sync.log.
