Apple Macintosh PowerBook 150 - Manual (Page 125)

The PowerBook File Assistant is software that synchronizes files on your
PowerBook and desktop Macintosh by automatically updating files whenever
you make changes. With File Assistant, you can always be sure that the file
you are working on is the current version.
What is file synchronization?
If you use two Macintosh computers, you may often have the same file or
folder on both computers. But you may have a problem keeping track of what
files are on what computer.
With the PowerBook File Assistant you can make sure you always have the
most recent version of a file or folder on both your computers. The process
of updating the files on both computers is called
file synchronization. With the
PowerBook File Assistant, you can synchronize individual files or folders.
File synchronization can also provide a useful means of maintaining a backup
copy of important documents.
Before you can use the PowerBook File Assistant to synchronize files, you
need to connect your PowerBook to another Macintosh. For instructions, see
Chapter 7, “Using Your Computer on a Network,” in the Macintosh Reference
book.
