Best Way To Synchronize Two Folders Via FTP?

What's the best way to keep two folders in sync via FTP? Also, why is this site turning German? Will there still be a website in English?

sitecopy in AUR may be helpful (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11319).  You may also want to look at conduit and multisync-gui in AUR.

I hear archlinux.de will be in English as a replacement...
Thanks for that!
Also, I sure hope there will be an English site. There are many Germans who know English, but not many non-Germans know German. It was a stupid move to switch to German as an official language.

  • Best way to share publc folders via internet w mac and pc

    Hope someone can help me. New mac user w/ Macbook pro and osx 4.6. Dont' want to pay for .mac but do want to share large files from my public folder with my kid (ibook) and a close friend(pc w/ xp). want them to be able to copy files as well as leave files for me in the drop box.
    I'm connecting to the net using comcast cable internet with a d-link wireless modem and I don't know if this affects the info I should be plugging in. Can I file share from the coffee house or just from home? Wireless seem to work great but can't figure out the best option for file sharing. Have read felix and apple help docs and tried to connect with daughter using apple events, personal file share, etc but asp addresses are not recognized. Maybe I am not using the correct router numbers. Really don't grok ports and TCP too much although I read that TCP is the option on osx 4 and later. I hesitate to turn my firewall all the way off. would it be safer to use stealth mode or would this make it more difficult to connect with trusted friends?
    Isn't there some great shareware that can automate this for me? Or can some one walk me through what I should do? Would greatly appreciate your help.

    I really like using OS X's built in file sharing tool, this can be enabled in the System Preferences. Here you can learn much more about it and its features.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
    File Sharing allows you to copy items from one computer to another, or to use files stored on another computer.

  • Best way to synchronize two Centros

    I have a Verizon Centro with many third party programs (ThoughManager, RepliGo, SplashShopper...), but do not use any data services or Microsoft Outlook, etc.  All apps are working just fine and I've had no HotSync problems.  I just bought an unlocked Centro GSM for traveling in Europe.  I want to install the same programs and files on the new GSM and keep both devices synchronized with the same programs, files and data.  I've read the manual, but am still unsure how to proceed.
    The Palm Desktop is already installed, obviously.  Will that version, 6.2.2, be the same for the GSM?
    Do I need to assign a different name to the new device?
    Do I need to HotSync the GSM every time I Hotsync the original device, or can I do this just ahead of traveling?
    Thank you!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    Normally with two of the same device is would be a simple matter to just sync them both to the same Hotsync ID. But in this case it might be problematic because your two phones use different network technologies and I don't know if there are, for exampla, system files on one which would FUBAR the other.
    Giving them each a separate name would mean 1) buying a second copy of your third-party applications because the activation codes are usually tied to a unique Hotsync ID and as such, won't activate on a phone with a different name, and; 2) either beaming your data (contacts, calendar, etc.) between the two devices; or 3) using a third-party solution called SyncUc to share databases between two differently named devices.
    Maybe I can ask someone else to look in here and offer their $.02.

  • Best way to copy large folders to external drive?

    What is the best way to transfer large folders across to external drives?
    I'm trying to clean up my internal hard drive and want to copy a folder (including its sub folders) of approx 10GB of video files to an external firewire drive.
    I've tried drag and drop in finder (both copy and move) and it gets stuck on a particular file and then aborts the whole process.
    1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
    2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify, a bit like when I burn a disk so I can be sure the video files have transferred safely before I delete them from my internal drive?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice.

    What you are trying to do makes perfect sense to me and I have done the same prior to getting myself a Time Machine system in place.
    1. Surely it should copy everything it can, and simply not copy the problem file.
    The fact that it is getting stuck on a particular file suggests that there is a problem with it. Try to identify which one it is and deal with that file on it's own. It could be that there is a disk error where that file is stored.
    2. Is there a way I can do copy and verify....
    The copy process you are using does that implicitly as I understand it.

  • What's the best way to keep two hard dives synced?

    I've been looking at the best way to protect my data and I've learned a few things. My first thought was RAID but a bit more research showed RAID is not a fix-all. It has it's own problems and even if I use a RAID1 or RAID10 array (depending on the number of drives) a failure in one drive can actually set off another drive, killing multiple drives and still destroying my data. There are a few other issues I've seen, such as the way you need to manage a RAID system that don't overly appeal to me.
    So what I'm thinking now is two separate hard drives that are synced in some manner. Both of these drives are going to be sitting on the back of my iMac at all times so there's no real worry about their needing to be connected to back up. The question is how best to do it?
    So far my options are:
    Chronosync: Software wise, I know this can sync across drives and as such has been something that interests me. However, I'm not sure how powerful it is and I'm still curious about how I would have to use it.
    SuperDuper: Same thing as Chronosync, really, just a different piece of software.
    Rsync: To be honest, this is the one that interests me the most. I need to look into it a bit more I'm starting to think this might be a great choice for me. With some caveats.
    Basically, here are the things I'm going to use it for:
    Two 3–4 TB HDDs or RAID0 arrays.
    Storing of general project archives, images, documents, movies, music, that kind of thing.
    Possibly for system backup with Time Machine.
    Now, how I'd prefer it to work is:
    I keep both hard drives plugged in via FireWire cables.
    Ideally, whenever I edit, add or delete a file on one hard drive the change is immediately made to the other.
    Once the syncing is set up I never touch it again, don't have to.
    The only time I ever have to come back to it is if I'm swapping out one or both of the drives for larger ones.
    All of this is controlled by some sort of GUI
    I'm willing to accept terminal commands if I have to... But I'd really prefer not to. Also, if the syncing has to be done every hour or once a day or some other similar schedule I'm willing to accept that as well, though it's not preferred.
    So that's what I'm looking at doing. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

    True, it's not technically backup in the traditional sense. What I'm looking for is data protection and redundancy, which is a factor of backups. So in that sense it kind of is, but I see your point.
    Anyway, the reason I'm avoiding RAID is because:
    1. It can be a pain to manage.
    2. It's horribly inflexible.
    3. It's protection is limited.
    4. It brings it's own set of hazards.
    5. RAID arrays can be very expensive once they start getting complex.
    I will likely end up going RAID partially in the end simply because I have a 2 TB external and it's filling fast. I can grab a 3 TB now but I've heard reliability issues so instead I'm thinking two 4TB (2x2TB) RAID0 arrays that I sync.
    This gives me the benefit of RAID in a simple form, which bypasses the larger array complexities, while leaving me still fully protected and highly flexible. It also doesn't have the inherent risks of RAID because if one of the arrays goes down it will in no way effect the other.
    Honestly, I'm not worried about file changes. At all. I'm the only one who's touching the files (well, not true, but everyone else only has read-access). I also tend to not delete things (which is why I have a 2 TB drive that's filling fast). Expansion is my main concern and RAID expansion can be a nightmare unless you go for some of the more expensive systems that are easier to manage. With ease of management comes a hefty price.

  • Best way to back up folders and still access in LR

    My workflow currently is to do all my corrections to my files while they're on my hard drive. Once I'm finished with that job, I copy the files to two external drives and delete it from my hard drive. With Lightroom, it seems that I should still just copy the folder to my external drives, delete from my hard drive, let LR turn that folder name red, and when I want to look through those images again, click on the red name through LR and point it to the new location. Is this the best way?
    I'm often going through old job folders, and they're on a variety of drives (I have 6 currently).
    What I love about Bridge is that you could export the cache for each folder and not worry about where I move the folders.

    Move the folder to the external drive in the Folders pane and then copy it to the other drive. Lightroom will keep track of it during the move. If you don't have the drive in your Folders list, the hit + beside the word Folders and create a new top level folder on the external drive from there (or simply select the drive itself-if you do this make sure you cancel the import or Lightroom will try import the entire drive). Then move the Folder you want to archive to this newly create top level folder.
    If the drive is connected they will remain white. If disconnected, they will go red.
    I've found it's quicker to quit Lightroom, reconnect the drive and then restart Lightroom, than to allow Lightroom to find the folders again after you connect with Lightroom active. YMMV.

  • Best Way to Migrate Home Folders from Dell Windows 2003 to XServe 10.6

    We are migrating Directory services and File service from a Windows Server to an Xserve running 10.6. What is the best way to copy over all of the data including everyone's home folders from the Windows server to our new Xserve while preserving the file attributes?
    Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jay,
    good news for you - since Oracle 11g it is allowed to have a physical standby between Windows and Linux. So the absolutely easiest way would be to build up a standby on your new Linux server, do a switchover with one minute downtime at a maximum ... and that's it.
    You may check ML Note:413484.1 for certification (the table shows which OS mix is allowed).
    The process will be the following:
    1) Let RMAN build up your standby automatically through the network while your PROD is still running
    2) Once RMAN has done this job you'll do a simple switchover
    If a standby solution is not an option for you, then you could use Data Pump on a NETWORK_LINK.
    This means: You build up a new and empty database on your RHEL server - you create a database link between those two databases.
    Then you run a full import without creating a dump file through the db-link:
    IMPDP usr1/password NETWORK_LINK=db_link1 FULL=Y
    You may check out Note:553337.1 for more info on Data Pump.
    Transportable Tablespaces or Transportable Database with RMAN would also be an option but those require some additional prep work.
    Kind regards

  • Whats the best way to save large folders/files on multiple dvds?

    hi,
    A quick question about the best way to save to dvd(4.7gb disc) a large number of folders/files.I've got about 30-40gb of stuff to save from mp3 sample files through to logic audio files.I already have them saved to another HD but i just want to be extra safe and have another back up.In the past i've just saved it disc by disc creating each folder as i go dragging the appropriate folder across.I was just wondering whether there was an easier way than this.May be an application where i can drag all the files and it will sort and save everything for me much like the way itunes now saves/backups files.
    thanks
    darren

    Hi darrenz,
    if you have Toast you can save your stuff using Toast. There's a great option within Toast. You need to select the Data tab and choose "Mac only". Then just drag all the stuff you want to burn to the Toast window and it will automatically ask for another DVD until everything is burnt. After that all your DVDs will have a Toast Restore app on them. It lets you select what you want to restore and will tell you which DVDs to insert. Here's a screenshot I found by googling: http://www.macworld.com/images/content/2005/08/19/toast7restore.jpg
    Have fun!

  • Best way to set up homesharing via airport express and NAS

    Hi,
    I've just bought an Airport express and was wondering what the best way to set it up would be so that I can play music stored on my NAS, controlled by my iphone / ipad.  I have itunes match as well, and don't want my phone to be streaming the music from wherever.  The airport express will be wired via ethernet to the same router as the NAS on which everything is stored.  I don't want the problem with network dropouts and hammering the bandwidth and battery on my iphone to deal with.
    How can I set it up to be taking the music straight from the NAS rather than streaming it.  I'd also rather not have to turn off itunes match everytime, because it takes an age to repopulate the library when I turn it back on.
    Thanks,
    Dom

    You cannot use homesharing to play content from anywhere but iTunes on a computer. The content doesn't have to be on that computer but it has to be part of the iTunes library on your computer. In addition the computer has to be on with iTunes running.
    It doesn't matter what sonos can do, sonos is a lame duck in comparison to iTunes because iTunes gives you many features sonos can't, all because it doesn't use iTunes and homesharing.

  • Best way to sync two Macs?

    I recently got a new iMac, which means I now run Mac OS X Lion on an iMac as well as on a MacBook Pro. This means I now need to keep the two machines in sync. I am finding that although iCloud takes care of my calendar, photos, and contacts, it is not useful when it comes to documents and other data. Could someone please suggest the best way of keeping the two Macs in sync?

    Sorry No.
    I don't have a need for such syncing.
    But the app is around for quite some time and they have a time-limited Trial version.

  • Is Time Machine the best way to backup two external drives?

    I only have the most basic understanding of Time Machine.  I hook up an external drive to my MacBook Pro, click "backup now" on Time Machine, wait a while, and forget about it because I've never had to use it to retrieve a file - thank heaven.
    Now I also have two external 2TB portable drives that are close to full and which need to be backed up.  I just bought a 4TB drive that I haven't taken out of the box yet.  Is it a simple matter to create two Time Machine files on the 4TB drive ... one for each of the 2TB drives?
    And is Time Machine the best way to do this?  Or is there some other system that makes more sense for backing up on this scale and with two drives?
    -JOHN

    No Time Machine is not the only way.
    You can use one of the drive cloning softeare programs to clone your internal drive to an external or you can use OS X Disk Utility to do basically the same thing, IE Clone/Copy your internal drive to an external.
    But in your case it look as if the upgrading of the iPhoto database has wiped out alll your images. What you are actually asking about is "Can you now get back those photos without first doing any backup of any type".
    And the answer to that is No you can not.

  • Best way to drive two stereo amplifie

    I am running a Dell Dimension 8400, 3.4 mhz using Windows Vista. I have a Soundblaster Audigy SE card in it. Coming out of the green jack I have a y adapter into RCA jacks to a Sony stereo (two speaker) amplifier. This has worked just fine for me. I now want to dri've a duplicate Sony stereo (two speaker) amplifier from the same computer. I want the output from the computer to dri've both amplifiers with identical output at all times. What is the best way to do this? The current sound card has three line outs, but only the first one seems to work. Can I simultaneoudly make the others behave the same way (just a left and a right), or are they just for 5. or 7. systems? Or should/can I add a second Audigy card to the system? Or should I get a different card that can support what I want to do? Open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    On XP systems, this what you want there is done by
    - connect the one into Front L/R (LineOut ) and the other into Rear L/R (LineOut 2)?
    - set the speaker mode to multichannel (4/4. (or 6/6.))
    - enable CMSS w/ stereo surround.
    I don't have Vista in use so, maybe you check if this is the way to go w/ it as well.

  • Best Way To Configure Two Companies

    I have two separate companies with each one having different calendars and different contacts (one with 985 contacts and the other with 35 and growing fast.).  What would be the best way to set these up so that I can sync my BB 8330 with my ACT database(s) and keep them together, yet separated when I need to share specific info with my employees in both entities?  Can you have 2 simultaneous, yet separate, databases on a Blackberry?  I could throw in Outlook's calendar if this would help?
    Thank you!
    Del

    Well the BlackBerry only supports 1 database (1 calendar, 1 address book, etc). So all of the entries would be combined when you looked at them on the BlackBerry
