> I'd keep it simple : ssh + rsync. Run: rsync -auvz --delete ssh://remotepc/dir/on/other/pc /dir/on/this/pcto get the new stuff from the other pc to the one you're currently working on. To update, just reverse:
rsync -auvz --delete /dir/on/this/pc ssh://remotepc/dir/on/other/pc -auvz does: -a => archive: saves permissions, users etc,-u => update: only newer files are transmitted. without this option older changes will be transmitted too, which might result in a loss of current changes
-v => verbose: can also use -P, giving a progress indicator -z => compress: faster over (slow) networks Sjoerd PS. Aioanei: sorry for the double mail. Forgot to click `reply-to-list'
