I'd like to kindly ask you if you don't know any software or script I can use to synchronize two folders. I'm using Dropbox and I'd like to have there up to date datas. But I would like to work on the files (tex and pdfs ) at my home folder at some other place than right in the dropbox folder. Anyway I'd like to have the files in dropbox synchronized. So I would like to have two folders

I have made a backup of my files on a remote server and I'd like to maintain that backup using rsync. The problem is that the timestamps don't match perfectly between the source and the backup.
What can I do? I'd rather not replace all the files in my backup because there is so much data it would take a very very long time.
Is there perhaps a way to compare checksums and then update the timestamps? Both are low power boxes with no GUI and only BusyBox CLI access.
I have two folders on different linux machines and want to synchronize both. Please suggest to handle this issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDue to recent releases of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint/Mint KDE, I'm pretty near ready to take the plunge full time into Linux on my main desktop machine. Just one thing stopping me though at the moment... folder synchronization.
I have the following setup:
1) Desktop machine running Mint KDE or Gnome hard wired to a Netgear DG834GT router.
2) Archived files stored on a dedicated partition mounted as /home/lucas/archive.
3) Laptop running Windows 7 also hard wired to the router.
4) Shared folder on the Windows 7 laptop called "Archive" on a dedicated "Data" partition.
What I would like to do is synchronize the folder specified in 2 above to the shared folder specified in 4 above.
In Windows I use SyncBackPro to synchronize folders. Is there anything similar in Linux?
I have just installed 11.3 x64. The installation went fine and worked for the first few hours. I ran the online update tool, and now it cannot find grub unless the installation disc is inserted and I select the "boot from hard disc" option.
I have read about the problem of the root partition being back, but not sure that's it.
sda1 - swap
sda2 - /
sda3 - /home
There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?
this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.
I'm trying to install files and everytime I manage to install from the first disc I succeed. When I get the the second disc I just keep clicking the "OK" button instead of "Cancel" and it keeps neglecting it.

I wanted to know, I it is possible to synchronize two systems. I�ve got one System on an ext. hard- drive, and one on a desktop computer. An example for better understanding:If I update on the ext.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two computers with Ubuntu 10.10 on them, a desktop and a laptop. I have two options for handling them:
Try and keep them the same
Accept that they have different 'personalities' and branch off their on way
However, I've chosen the first option because I like to keep my files and settings the same on both computers. I am in the process of extracting a tar archive I made of my entire desktop's hard drive (9.7GiB) onto my laptop, so after this is done they will be exactly the same. However, upon turning the laptop on with my freshly-copied system, things will become different. If I take the laptop to school, for example, and do stuff there, then come back home, and do stuff on my desktop, how can I sync these computers (both ways!) with the new changes at the end of the day/week/whatever?
Scenario: An IDE is set up on a Linux desktop box, editing PHP files locally. Every time I save a file, I want this change to appear on the linux server where Apache is running. The server has ssh (and samba and nfs for that matter).As a reference, when I edited files on Windows, I finally came over WinSCP as the exact tool I needed - WinSCP have just this feature present, with initial synch and then continuous update, using the filesystem watch service: "Keep Remote Directory up to Date".
On Linux, one could argue that sshfs could be employed to sidestep the need for synchronization entirely. On windows, a samba-share would do the same. However, I want the IDE to work with local files (on a SSD disk!), not having to go over the network to do PHP indexing and whatnots, which takes ages.But sshfs might be a part of the solution nevertheless - so that the continuous synchronization just needed to be done between two local directories.
I just bought a Nokia N900 and it's a beautiful device!
Naturally, since it runs Linux, it's unable to synchronize with other Linux devices. It's one of those wacky universal constants you can't seem to understand.
I've tried using SyncEvolution, which supports funambol, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about a failed authentication or whatnot.
When I right click a folder and select synchronize it does not sync. It continues to say synchronize on one. When I selected my music folder back in December it worked, but now it doesn't. It continues to work for the music folder and 1 other folder. I can't simply add my documents folder.How do I force one to sync my documents folder.

I am setting up a lubuntu nas with all of my music, movies, etc on it. I want to give my kids access to my mp3 directory, so I can move all of the kid appropiate music into the root of my mp3 dir, in the same order I have all of my music sorted. Under the Music folder, I have them sorted, in folders, by letter. So A, B, C, D, etc... Now, in those folders are the respective artists. So where there may be something approipate in the P folder (say, Paramore), there is something inapproipate (say, Pantera)Now, when the kids go to the P folder, I don't want them to even see the Pantera folder. I just want them to see the Paramore folder. I tried a test using chmod 711 and chmod 700 on a directory with a test user, and the user can't access the directory, but can still see it

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to synchronize the time of my VM server with ntpd. I have the following configuration. And in the /etc/ntp.conf, I have the following line:
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1.
server time1.server
server time2.server
Whenever I have this line, the erver is not able to synchronize its time... So far as I understood, this line prevents other servers using this machine as a time server. And the second line says to allow localhost to use as time server. But why do I need to use its own time server when I have specified to use time1.server and time2.server ? ( firewall for tcp and udp ports 123 is open)
However, when I replace the first line of the configuration with the following line, it works. restrict default kod nomodify notrap noquery But with this, i am allowing other servers to use this server a ntp (which I wouldn't like to). Why this machine tries to use ntp server of its own (to snyc time) and why it is not working though i have the entry "restrict 127.0.0.1" ??
I used to use Unison to synchronize files between various Unix/Linux computers. I've an USB stick onto which i put files I've to keep with me (when I work outside home). When I get back home I'll like to synchronize with my laptop running Fedora 11. If the file is on the usb stick no problem, it gets copied onto my home directory and everything is fine.
But if the file has to go onto the stick, Unison complains it can't set the file's permission (of course, on a Vfat file system) and refuse to copy it. Question : Do you know a way to avoid setting irrelevant permissions on a file with Unison or an other utility of this kind ?
I have an OpenSuSE 11.1 web server. For some reason the time will not stay with what I set it to.I go into Personal Settings and adjust the date/time and no matter what it keeps defaulting back to december of 2007.This is a virtual machine sitting on VMware ESXi 3.5. I noticed that the time in the BIOS was also off by the same date. I adjusted it there and still the time is incorrect within the OS.As soon as I boot into the OS, it displays december of 2007. I check the BIOS again and it reverts back.
