I work with a Notebook (XP Pro) and travel between offices and home. Everyday I deal with tens of office documents. I need a way of syncronizing the server file system with the notebook so that I can have the most recent versions in the notebook and next day other collegues can see them from the server (NT).
Doing it manually is really boring and can go wrong. Do you guys/gals have a solution for this?
I use an app called beyond compare to find differances between two files. Although not really inteneded for your example - I have used it that way. Theres a filter to only show files that are different; if youre the only one updating the files and your notebook always has the most recent one it, it'll work like a charm.
Thank you for the answer. In fact I have found lots of free utilities for this purpose, but they don't work transparent and take a lot of time. I don't want to try hundreds of freeware on my work machine... I know beyond compare and use it for programming purposes, but in this case I work with different office files, Excel, Word, or whatever...
What I'm searching for is a utility that does the file copy transparently or with just a click of an icon/button. Recently created files will be copied, deleted files will be deleted (or better pushed in a folder called "deleted"), files with older date/time will be replaced with newer versions, without and versioning problem.
