Dear members,
I run Empty4 on 3 different PC's , on different fysical locations.
How do I 'synchronise' these Empty4's? For the moment, I copy all Empty4-folders on a stick and paste them on the next machine. Is there an easier way to do this via some cloud thing?
Thanks and best regards,
thomasmore

Hi.

I do it this way: I have a MQL4 folder that is accessible from all machines and has the subdirectories for Experts, Indicators etc. In my case, it hosts on a network drive, but you can also use Google Drive or something in the cloud that shows up as folder in your machines. Now I have a batch script on each machine that copies all new/changed files from that folder to the MQL4 directories of the local Empty4 installations.

Cheers

thank you for your prompt reply Thomas.
Could you send me a script you use, so that I can adapt it to my situation ?
Best regards,

Hi Thomas

I have a similar setup to Tomele

Use 'DropBox' to access stored EAs, sets, libs etc across multiple computers
Use EACopy (can be found at www.fxblue.com) to copy EAs etc to multiple Empty4 instances at once on each computer

Hope this is of help

Cheers Richard

@Thomas AKA Tomele

Could you share your script ?

I tried making a 'robocopy' script some years ago, but never got it to work correctly and ended with a big mess. A good example how to accomplish synchronization across PCs would be very helpful.

Cheers, Peter

It definitively looks simple, but most things are simple ........ if you know how to do it :D
Just read the Xcopy page on the Technet page. Apparently XCopy has the advantage of being simpler to use with less risk messing up your work, compared to its successor Robocopy.

Thanks, I will give it a go.
