hi,
i hope someone has an solution. i am traveling a lot and i also have
many workplaces, because usually i have more than one contract a time.
this means, that i have
* a desktop at home (linux)
* a laptop (ie powerbook) for meetings and journeys
* a desktop (linux or win xp) at each workplace and
* a server with full access and internet access with linux on it.
note: usually i have full access to the computers (admin, root) and
the connection to my server is limited to SSH/HTTP/IMAPS.
what i am looking for is an easy way to sync the most important files
between this computers (about 500 MB) and optionally to make them
accessible via a web-interface (just in case that i cannot sync the
disks, eg internetcafe).
my first approach was subversion. this worked as long as i don't the
explorer/finder/...-stuff to move and create directories with a file
manager. because moving a directory with a file manager also copies
the hidden .svn-dir which caused my a lot of troubles and confusion in
the svn-repository.
second approach: rsync. this was nice, but there is the problem, that
i have to install rsync and ssh onto the computers. ok, this is most
of the time possible, but the it was unhandy to call rsync each time
(command line params, ...).
third approach: http://www.ifolder.com - this seemed to be the right
solution (shared folders on the internet), but: it requires mono/.net.
and i don't assume that mone for linux/mac is stable enough, i am not
going to use it.
so, now i have reached the end of the road. i have no idea where to
look for a solution or how a solution could look like. i hope that
there is a solution for this scenario *crossing fingers*
