Hey guys,

I'm looking for a syncing solution (mac/linux/win)

Here's what I want.

Server and laptop.

If the file exists on the laptop & server sync.

If the file exits only on server skip (don't copy to laptop but keep on server)

If the file only exists on laptop sync.

 

I like BT Sync, but doesn't quite fit the bill.

you can edit the .SyncIgnore file in your shared BT Sync directory to get the effect you want but it has to be done manualy. You add the file/folder name as a line in the file.

Oooooh!  Cool,  will look into it.  Thanks!! Manually editing isn't much a prob. (getting used to Linux's "30 years behind the times of keeping computers difficult for the masses"  :P )

Unfortunately there is not a mass way to do this....

I think you can do with with Goodsync. --- It's been a while since I've played with it.

Ok I tried the goodsync (well D/L'd the trial and peeked.  Doesn't seem to do it exactly.  The retention of files has a timeout.  And I think if I put to 0, it will just delete straight away.  Guess I'll just have to roll my own.  Time to brush up on rsync. (the basis of most of these programs anyways)
