Dan, If you don't have an account with the same short (or login) name on the remote computer, you'll have issues with permissions all the time. If you really need to do it, then make sure that the files on your Mac are set to be read/write by others. Make sure that you can write to the destination folder on the remote Macintosh. You can try to manually copy one item from the location you want to backup to the remote folder in the Finder. Then, check the resulting file on the remote computer. If the file is fine, then any sync program should be able to do the job, unless they try to mess up with the permissions. Have you tried my synchronization tool? -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted. See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
