Restrictions

Editing files must be done when the client is on because it will not be synchronized
Creating new files is possible even if client is not turned on
Files must not have a space in the name
Deleting files is done exclusively via the client
Files will remain on the server until you issue a command to delete them on the server
Two clients need to be launched for synchronization between two local folders
