Subject: Syncing files between two computers
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 23:43:15 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200502242343.16282.joshuarogers@hopper.net> (raw)
I'm trying to figure out a way to sync files between my laptop and my
desktop. I've begun using my desktop as only a media center. It holds all
of my movies, music and photos. Sometimes I make changes to files, add files
or remove files on my laptop and have to remember what to manually change
later on my desktop. Sometimes I'll rip another CD or new DVD to my desktop
and want to automatically copy the changes to my laptop.
I believe that I can get this done, but I before I go inventing the wheel, I
would like opinions of what software is best. rsync? rsh? something else
completely?
I use Linux 2.6.10 on Debian (Woody, I believe). Both the laptop and the
desktop have P4s and over 512Mb RAM. I have them contented to my internal
network at my house, with the desktop and laptop both using DHCP.
Is there a way that I can have my computers sync certain folders, and the
actions on the files in those folders? (ex: updates, deletion, addition)
Many thanks. My digikam albums and I thank you all very much!
Have a wonderful day (or night...)
Joshua Rogers
