    Might be worth a look?

  2. PowerFolder by totmacher · · Score: 1 · on How Do You Sync & Manage Your Home Directories?

    I like to sync my files with PowerFolder. I can directly sync my computers in LAN or online and don't need to upload them to any service provider. ...And it works perfectly between my Linux and Windows box. I think a Mac client is also available.

  3. PowerFolder - free open source alternative by totmacher · · Score: 1 · on First Looks at Microsoft's New "Live Mesh" Platform

    Sorry for posting this again, but:

    Try PowerFolder. It's a mature alternative:
    * The software works since 2003
    * It gets actively developed
    * It's open source - a free Basic client is available
    * There is a commercial Pro client with advanced security and connectivity features and 5 GB Online backup space

    I recommend PowerFolder for synchronizing your notebook with the servers.

    It is capable of bi-directional synchronization as described in your usecase.
    PowerFolder also automatically detects nodes on LAN or Internet and (re-) establishes the connection if possible.
    Since it does delta-synchronization like rsync it works very well with slightly changing files.

    You might want to give it a try:

    I still can't believe nobody mentions powerfolder yet. http://www.powerfolder.com/ It's open source but they try and sell you a "pro" version. Not quite sure how that works really.

  9. Powerfolder by koninc · · Score: 1 · on Laptop/Server Data Synchronization?

    I use http://www.powerfolder.com/ for syncing about 30 gb of audio between myself and my collaborators. Its worked great so far, can be run without an internet connection - LAN only for instance (or via Hamachi). Has worked great for me.

    Beyond that, there's nothing stopping people from developing using SWT if they don't like swing.
    It's not as flexible, but it's MUCH faster.

    Have a look at what it can do:

    They even have natively compiled binaries for it!

    And let's not forget the guys who invented swt:

    Of course, that's not to say that swing sucks:

    Mmm. nice isn't it? I certainly wouldn't spot this a mile away as being swing.
    That is what we call an example of a programmer doing his job right.

    I used to hate swing applications too, but that was when I ran a 500MHz machine. CPUs are cheap these days.
