We want to push aside the current iDisk file and put a new one up there. So rename it or put it in another folder. (You could delete it entirely, but some people are justifiably nervous about deleting anything that might serve as a backup if things go horribly wrong.)

You run the script on one Mac. Let's call that the alpha Mac. Now you want to replace the data on all the other machines with the one on the alpha Mac. So when you sync the alpha Mac, if you get asked, you want to use the local one. Now the server has the same data as the alpha Mac. So when you're on another Mac, or an iPhone, if it asks you, you want to choose server, so that the data from the alpha Mac gets brought down, replacing the old huge data on the machine you're syncing now.

A lot of people seem to get confused about "local" vs. "server". We haven't been able to come up with clearer terminology, but maybe we're just too close to the problem. If anyone has any better suggestions, we're very open to hearing them.
