SyncToy

I've written this same question to the XP group in the hope that someone
will be able to hope.

I have been trying to set up SyncToy2 between my XPSP2 desktop and my Vista
Home Premium laptop. The results have been irregular at best. Is there a
problem of communication between the two systems? Is it possible to
synchronise the two computers with SyncToy2?

Thanks in advance.

Next time instead of multi-posting (posting seperate messages to
several newsgroups), cross-post (write one message and have it sent to
multiple newsgroups at once).

That way all the replies will be seen by everyone and it will make it
easier for you to see them as well.

Thanks for the posting advice. Any ideas about the sync problem?

Rick, I have problems between XP and Vista and Linux and Vista but none
Between XP, W2000 and Linux, therefore I conclude that this is
"Something" to do with Vista.

If I try looking from a Linux machine the OS says it cannot understand
the file permissions on the target (Vista) machine, yet on another Vista
machine at work the permissions seem to be fine.

I tried Synctoy a long time ago and gave up with it in the end because
it worked sometimes and not others.

I have been using synchtoy2 on vista to synch a very large 8 gb folder
between Vista, Linux and Windows 2000 Server without problems. I am not
sure what to tell you it just seems to work fine.

Are you having problems sharing files?

Well I am not planning to use Synctoy specifically any time soon, but
commented because I do have some problems between "Some" Vista machines
and anything else. Other Vista machines the problems aren't there. I
don't see this with XP.

It is not a huge problem, I just wanted to comment that synctoy is not
necessarily the problem.
