My laptop spends most of its time around the house and turned on but then, when we go away, it gets turned off in the car/'bike whatever and then turned on again at the far end and links to the local WiFi. Syncthing copes with this perfectly OK, obviously it takes a little longer to synchronise when away from home, but that's all. I also synchronise files to other systems, a couple of headless boxes on the LAN at home and a virtual machine in France. For example I have a wiki synchronised between desktop, laptop and virtual machine. I can change files on the laptop and then the desktop and virtual machine wikis get changed as well a few seconds later. (It's a personal wiki so only I change files, can't expect this to work with multiple users!) -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
