Syncing Files

Hi,

I have a directory on Windows 2003 Server which i must sync with a Windows
Vista machine at home, and a windows XP laptop i travel with. I don't want
to have to manually run a sync script, i need it to continually monitor the
files for changes, as the files change in different places more than once
per day.

Thanks

There are several options - SyncToy, Offline Files, and third party stuff
like SecondCopy.

I've tried using Offline Files, but when i right-click my share, i don't get
the 'Always Available Offline' option

Disregard that, i had to enable it.

It works pretty well on Vista. Does it work exactly the same on XP?

Yes, as far as I know. I'm not a huge fan of offline files. I prefer
SecondCopy.
