LF file synchronization solution - robkelk - 10-21-2011
I'm sure there's a simple, easy-to-implement solution to this, but I've been managing more than coding lately so I can't remember what it is...
I want to be able to plug a USB drive into computer #1 running WinXP and have copied to the USB drive only the files that have been added or altered since the last time the drive was plugged in. Files that have been deleted should not be removed from the USB drive. Computer #1 does not run any scripting language.
I want to be able to plug the same drive into computer #2 running WinXP and have copied from the USB drive only the files that have been added or altered since the last time the drive was plugged in. Files that have been deleted should not be removed from computer #2.
What am I looking for?

Drat, if this weren't windows the "rsync" unix tool would be perfect for you.
If none of the tools Wiredgeek fit the bill, there are ways to get rsync running under windows.

Synctoy might as well be Rsync in a nice suit.
