I have a requirement to synchronize a (large) Windows directory with a Linux directory. Neither rsync nor rdiff-backup speak cifs. At least I don't think so. I searched the samba site and found nothing specific although there could be something buried in there. At this point, I'm faced with doing frequent manual transfers or with writing a script to do the transfer. (I've never written a real script.) If anyone has experience doing this or knows of a command that could be made to do this, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Don: I use Unison for this. There are packages for both Linux and Windows. It does not use cifs (it uses ssh) but it is utterly reliable.

We have been doing this between our linux server, a remote linux server and roaming laptops running linux and Windows (2k and XP) for over 5 years now.

It has a pretty good manual and can sync entire sub directory structures and handle manually specified exclusions. It uses rsync over ssh for most transfers but some

For an ssh package on windows I use an older openssh version.

Any idea where I can find "libgtk-win32.0-0.dll"? It didn't show up in a google search. (I'm not a windows guy.) The text version starts but immediately terminates. -- Don Henson
