Syncing contents of folders between two Machines


Recommended Posts

I've tried a couple of folder sync tools and I was wondering if anyone here has any particular recommendations about what works best.

Basically what I want to be able to do is plug my Powerbook into the LAN at home and have it up/download the newest content so everything is up-to-date on both machines.

Anyone know of any good software for this? One I tried is a commercial-grade program that is probably a little more than I need, and the other is fairly clunky (it can't sync across a network).. so yeah if anyone does this and has a good tool they'd recommend, please suggest it.

Cheers :)

This is possible using some Unix commands and maybe even an Apple Script, but I don't even know where to begin :(

I found this [MacOSXHints.com] that might help, it talks about Rsync which is a Unix command that might be able to help you.

Edit: If you want to spend a bit of money this looks VERY good! and only $20 :D
