Synch files

[chcr]

Anyone know of an easily configurable file synchronization program that'll work between XP Home and ME?

Maybe it is possible to install rsync on windows, who knows.

Outlook, or Outlook Express might do it through IMAP.
You'd have to setup the serving end though, so it's not really straight forward.

Look at some of the regular backup programs. There might be some free ones
out there, but I don't know how good they are.

I'll look around some myself tomorrow.

Cygwin has it. Rsync in Windows is a pain, IMO. Seems like even administrator access can't overcome Windows file locks.

Thanks, I'll check that out. It never even occurred to me to use cygwin. Might be over this lady's head, but maybe not.
