Sychonization is not an option in my menu

Post by abellew@uvi.edu »

I set up my CSENTRY app so that it can synchonize to an FTP server. I transferred the .pen and .pff files onto the Android device. I am able to run the data entry app on my tablet. When I select the three dots at the top of the CSENTRY (1st screen) Synchonize is not an option. I only see Add Application, Update Installed Applications, Settings, help and About CSENTRY.

What am I doing incorrectly?

I have put a .pen and.pff file in the directory on the FTP server.
Prior to creating my .pen and .pff files, I enabled synchonization and tested the connection.

To synchronize to an FTP server, you need to make a call to the syncConnect function:

Then, once connected, you'll have to make calls to either download or upload data files, using the syncData function:

This is the only way to transfer data files, there is nothing within the CSEntry application's install that does this for you (you could of course have a dozen applications installed on your device, with each using a different server setup, dictionary, etc.)
