n2ncopy: copy/move stuff to multiple locations

<< < (2/2)

skwire:
There is some ambiguity between the original IRC chat and one of your posts.  In the original IRC snippet, you just want to move a file.  In one of your previous posts, you describe a source file or folder.  I assume you want both?

sri:
Since my last post in this thread I did some research and found out several programs that already do what I want.

@skwire: I appreciate your initiative to make the program for me but I don't see the need for it any more now that I found out about the following:

http://www.codessentials.com/products/yadisbackup.html is what am using now. What I like about this program is that it automatically copies modified files over to the target instantly in the background.

These are others that I have bookmarked (but haven't tried yet):

Sweet.  I'm a firm believer in not re-inventing the wheel.  I'm glad you found what you needed.   :Thmbsup:

I haven't tried the others, but this one:

is definitely good to have in your toolbox.  I did a Custom install of W7 onto my Vista 32 bit machine.  This program was the only one that I found that could copy the entire Windows.old folder(about 206,000 files) over the network without crashing.  It starts copying right away whereas anything explorer based is still counting files for 4 hours.  RichCopy is done way before explorer type file copy apps even start.

btw the CodeEssentials does look interesting if you want something automatic.  For manual sync the folder compare and sync in FreeCommander is simple and works well. Plus it's freeware.
