To me it is a matter of security, hopefully it is not too off-topic: I have a suse9.0-box1 which has all my images (photo's i am a photographer) stored now I want to sync them with a box2, I am working on (a suse9.0-box2) but I did some adjustments to most of the images so I don't want images of box2 overwritten by the ones of box1, only add the images that are allready on box1 but not yet on box2. My handbook suggests unison, but I can't figure out howto: update box2, with leaving altered files untouched, and leave all the files of box1 untouched someone suggested svn but I can't get that working. what I do now is load them to a winXP box use winSCP with has an option of sync-local or sync-remote, but that's a bit of a hassle. As de amount of images several gig's I want a reliable way of working. thanks in advance for any suggestion, piet
