Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good & free rsync type program for Windows platforms? Like most of us, I need to work on both
How about rsync?
Windows & Linux environments, and would like to sync some data (music, videos, photos, documents, thunderbird profiles, FF bookmarks, etc) between a USB HDD, my Linux (CentOS + KDE) PC, and Windows Laptop at the office.
I found a program called Toucan (which also has a portable version) but it doesn't seem to work as well as rsync. When I tell it to "sync (copy)" or "sync (mirror)" file between the USB HDD, or even my Linux PC via the LAN, it copies every single file, every time. So it's not very efficient. Their forums doesn't have much help on this matter, and I just know from experience that help here is much better ;)
But http://www.samba.org/rsync/lists.html is a better mailing list to ask.
Yes but google would have been faster.

Or not on the google results, but my favorite: http://cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe
