Setup on Windows (GUI)

This here below is a quick "how to" and video tutorial showing how to install and setup Syncplify Server! v6 on Windows. It also shows its initial barebone configuration and test of some of its subsystems (protocol handlers).

Choosing between the GUI and the CLI installer for Windows
  • The GUI installer (shown in the video above) provides a familiar Windows desktop experience, with its graphical wizard that guides the user through the initial process of copying the files to the target system and auto-configuring some OS settings.
  • The CLI installer, on the other hand, is designed for command-line based installations, which are more suitable (or even absolutely necessary) for unattended/automated installs, SCCM, or to deploy the software on Windows Server Core editions without the Desktop Experience (as Microsoft calls it).

Did you know?
The Windows GUI and CLI installers are interchangeable, meaning that you can install version 6.2.42 using the GUI installer, then upgrade to v6.2.43 via the CLI installer, and then upgrade to v6.2.44 with the GUI installer again.
