Synchronizing a few folders between two machines?

<< < (2/12) > >>

I would have to set up shared folders for that to work though wouldn't I?

I have simple file sharing disabled. The root drives have access permissions assigned to my login. But when I check the subfolder permissions within those drives the folders are not shared. File sharing has always been a bit of a grey area for me.  :-[

I like GoodSync Pro as many here know.

http://www.goodsync.com/

It has scheduling abilities, running in the background, at 4mb of memory on this computer.
Or after creating 'Jobs' you can sync all jobs at once manually.
Or use the auto mode that has many options.
There is lots of options in this program.
$30 isn't too bad, lifetime updates.

And I've had to get more activations because of reformats or new OS's.
Emailing support had me with another activation in about 24 hours.

And I'm not getting paid to say how much I like it,
or some link that is coded to recognize me as the reference.

Worth checking out imo.

Free version as well-

Or the try the trial from the home page.

Shades:
Pathsync is my suggestion to the table.

Small, clean, simple, fast, portable and free. Very good qualities in software I would say.

At the time (2 years ago) I tried several freeware backup/synchronization software pieces as I had to sync between a Windows XP PC (source) and a Linux file-server. Most of them would not even copy, some would copy partially. And then I found Pathsync.

Not only did it copy everything, it also did it fast. Not the copying in itself per se, but checking which files that were changed/added/deleted. It still amazes me. As it is only in version 0.35 and not actively developed anymore, there is a lot to be desired in the software. Still, as it is the software will fit perfectly with you.

All the other suggested tools are fine too.

*EDIT*
It appears there is a new beta out since last month.

You might check out "Unison". I use Syncback on my Windows boxes, but Unison is cross platform and free. It  also offers command line version. It iks available under Windows and Cygwin for Windows

SKA:
Syncback Pro (USD 49.95) or SE (USD 30/-) are another option.

Pro: http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/sbpro.html
