Best way to automatically synchronize files between Linux and Windows
- by Gregory
My first choice was rsync but it caused some issues and is too manual.
My second choice, currently under evaluation is Unison. Are there any other good options for bi-directional auto-syncing?
The synching tool cannot add it's own files to the directories to be synched. Which removes CVS/SVN as a choice. Plus they are too manual.
The requirements are user-level program on both sides, no root account access available. Only scanning on linux. On windows it could be a virtual drive/path.
Very fast and efficient like rsync.
Some other requirements include: machines are not on the same network, files cannot fall into the wrong hands, nor can they be handled by 3rd parties, this pretty much excludes all online storage sites.
