For basic syncing, I've been using Sync-Toy from Microsoft since I had WXP. Works like a charm, simple to use, has a GUI and command line interface (you use the CLI if you want to automatically schedule its running), and free.

I use it for most of my copying and backups on *nix and windows. There are a ton of switches and different ways of using rsync. What problem are you having? Have you looked at any of the existing tutorials? It is a powerful tool, but unfortunately that power comes at the price of some complexity. Remember you can always use -n to do a dry run to see what it will do. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
