Download DirSync Pro 1.45 Beta 2

Version 1.45 of DirSync Pro is in development and the second beta release has now been released. One or more folders can be synchronized with this open source program, for example a computer with a smartphone or USB memory stick. This can be both uni- and bi-directional. The program is written in Java and therefore platform independent. Downloads are available for DOS, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, among others. Version 1.45 is being developed in Java version 1.7 and now remembers file attributes, such as permissions and owner. Furthermore, the filter section has been improved and there is support for symbolic links. The complete changelog so far looks like this:
