Never had the need to use rsync before; was more curious as to its "power". Cheers Mike. Nice tutorial and example as well.

Since I've never used GoodSync, I can't say how exactly rsync is different, apart from the following: - it's open source, which means it can be compiled and used on any OS. GoodSync appears to be a Windows application - rsync is a well documented tool with protocol open for comments and improvements. GoodSync seems to be a proprietary software - GoodSync has graphics interface, while rsync itself is a command line tool. There are quite a few frontends for it, but they need to be downloaded separately Bottom line is: you don't need to know programming, but command line-driven rsync will seem harder to use than GoodSync, at least initially Hi Mark,

Bottom line is: you don't need to know programming, but command line-driven rsync will seem harder to use than GoodSync, at least initially

I've used GoodSync and it has been great but is this something I have to download to get it to work, or are you saying I need to know programming?
