File Syncing - zaneyard - 09-25-2009
anyone use dropbox?
Basically I'm looking for something that will sync the music folder on my desktop to my media server
they are both networked
it doesn't have to be over the internet but it seems like that is my only option if i want it done automatically
does any body have any sync software suggestions?

why sync? just drop a raid in your media server and set it up with an nfs-server

windows is installed because it's the only OS that i could find a media server to shoot my music to a networked 360

You can still setup nfs, ftp, ssh, etc servers on it (in spite of windows)
http://www.nfsforwindows.com/home (nfs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPDrive (ftpfs)
Just look around a little bit, this is much better than sending files from your computer to dropbox and back to another computer on your home network (there's tons of network file servers for windows, just look around for one that has the right features/faqs in the event you've never set one up before, you'll be much happier this way)

alternatively, in the explorer bar
Code:
ftp://zaneyard:zaneyardspassword@127.0.0.1Re: File Syncing - Mission Difficult - 09-25-2009
Quick google = This.
SyncToy looks like it might work? idk

Well, I hear dropbox automatically detects two boxes on the same network and uses lan to sync those if that's any help.

Any of these programs work to sync folders between 2 drives on the same computer?
