This will be the simplest question ever in the history of Hazel support.

I’ve spent the last hour trying to find the answer on this forum, in the Troubleshooting tips thread, in the FAQS, in Hazel HELP, and by looking at imported sample rules.
Maybe by posting, it will help other newbies who have a similar question.

Here is the question:
How to do one-way synch from one folder to another folder?

When new file or folder added to working folder, COPY to target.
When any existing file modified, COPY-REPLACE to target.

"Working” folder is one folder on main hard drive.
"Target” folder is on second, attached, drive.

There are “synch” apps to do this, but I’m eager to start learning Hazel.

Please advise.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I looked at that thread.
Seems that I'm not the only newbie frustrated with what should be a simple, get-started, routine.

I've just spent another hour studying the getting started tips, and one more hour fussing around with HAZEL rules just trying to do a simple, one-way, synch between two folders.
Seems there should be a pre-set script available for a simple synch, but I haven't found it.
Is HAZEL the best program for this?
Or should I be looking at some other software instead?
(I've already bought HAZEL.)

Please advise.

That thread has a link to a downloadable rule.
