QUESTION
Can I setup a Monitor Folder Event Rule so that if a folder structure is dropped into the monitored folder, that folder structure (including all sub-folders and files) is replicated on the remote host or LAN using the same folder structure as the source?
ANSWER
If you use the variables %FS.VIRTUAL_FOLDER_NAME%\%FS.FILE_NAME% as the Destination Folder path, the Event Rule will copy all of the files and folders and keep the folder structure. VIRTUAL_FOLDER contains the structure of the folders under the monitored folder.
The Event Rule in the illustration below will copy all of the files and keep their folder structure.
