Writing a service to keep two folder in sync? [closed]

Question

I need to keep synchronized two folder on different host in Windows. I really think that something already done exists but I did not find anything (SyncToys is not an option), do you have something to suggest me?

Requirements are:

• running as a service
• sync over a network shared path (ie \\myhost\myfolder)

Answer 1

I would say use rsync with task scheduler to accomplish what you're wanting.

There are several ports of rsync to windows, you might check out the following:

• DeltaCopy
• cwrsync

I will try to replace my solution with cwrsync, thanks – Medico

Answer 2

After a long search, I found SuperFlexible. Maybe that's the answer - and it doesn't cost much.

well I did one myself, so in order to evaluating a new one I prfefer an OpenSource c# – Medico

maybe it would help if you put that into the question - you didn't state that you want SOURCE at all – Demurral
