Exactly what files and/or file types on the common viewers will require synchronization.

C
Each shared folder on the deployment server that holds the source files that will be deployed to the viewer.
There can be more than one folder on the server.
Subfolders that can optionally hold files to be deployed.
Synchronize the configuration file.

The temporary folder on the viewer is automatically created.
