There are several Shareware apps which do file syncing. But none of
them worked as well as the two I like.
Norton Essentials has one built in. Yes, you do have to buy the
package, but the price is worth it just for the Sync tool. Get it
mail-order.
I like FileRunner by MBS as a standalone. It works very well, and
handles much larger and more complex scenerios than the others I've
seen. FileRunner was harder for me to learn, but once I did it was
great. I use it several times a day for reconciling my source code
between my PowerBook, my backup on our server and my desktop machine.
MBS is reachable at:
MBS Technologies, Inc.
4017 Washington Road, #400
McMurray, PA 15317
412-941-9076
I don't remember what it costs, but it's good.
