Apple PowerBook File Assistant - Manual (Page 5)

The PowerBook File Assistant is software that synchronizes files on your
PowerBook and desktop Macintosh by automatically updating files whenever
you make changes. With the File Assistant, you can always be sure that the
file you are working on is the current version.
What is file synchronization?
As a user of both a desktop Macintosh and a PowerBook, you may often have
the same file or folder on both computers. This allows you to work on files
wherever and whenever it’s convenient. The only problem is keeping track of
what files are on what computer, and where the current copy of a file is.
The PowerBook File Assistant eliminates this problem by keeping the most
recent version of a file or folder on both your desktop Macintosh and your
PowerBook. 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.
