100 <p>With <em>pull</em> you can apply all changes on the server to your local directory. The command scans the server and detects modified files and which files are deleted. All modified files will be downloadet and all deleted files will be locally removed (or moved to the trash directory). The first time you will run <em>pull</em> for a directory this will just download all files from the WebDAV collection.</p>

106 <p>Every sync-directory has a database xml file that contains the etag and last modified date of each file. The etag is used to detect changes on the server and the last modified date is used to detect local changes. The database file is usually located in <em>$HOME/.dav/</em> and if you want to reset a sync-directory, you can delete the database. After that, <em>pull</em>/<em>push</em> (with disabled conflict detection) will download/upload all files.</p>

108 <p>The <em>pull</em> and <em>push</em> commands detect if a file has changed remotely and locally. This is a conflict that must be resolved manually.</p>

109 <p>When <em>pull</em> detects a conflict it renames the local file to <em>orig-$number.$name</em> where <em>$number</em> is an integer, usually 0 if no other conflict file with the name exists and <em>$name</em> is the file's name. After the file is renamed the new file from the server is downloadet. The user should merge the files manually then or just delete one or keep both. After that run <em>resolve-conflicts</em> to remove all conflict entries from the database otherwise <em>push</em> will ignore any file in a conflict state. There is also the <em>delete-conflicts</em> command that deletes all conflict files.</p>

112 <p>For high data safety, a trash directory can be configured. If this is done, dav-sync will not delete files, but move them to the trash directory. Also the pull command can move files to the trash directory before overwriting them.</p>

131 <p>It is highly recommended to lock the repository if it is expected that multiple users want to access and modify the repository simultaneously. Locking can be enabled with the <code>-l</code> option when using the <em>pull</em> or <em>push</em> command, or it can be permanently enabled in <em>sync.xml</em> for a directory with the <code>&lt;lock-pull&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;lock-push&gt;</code> elements.</p>

139 <p>The <em>dav-sync</em> program uses the same repository settings as <em>dav</em>. If encryption is enabled for a repository, <em>dav-sync</em> stores files encrypted on the server. See <a href="./encryption.html">Encryption</a> for details.</p>
