Thread: Will someone make a prog that sync's mp3's between 2 machines?

I'm not sure whether you could do it with a .bat or not, but I can at least think of how you would do it. Anyway, you could set up an ftp server on your DAS and use the Windows ftp client on your laptop to upload new songs. The Windows ftp client is scriptable, so you can generate scripts with a batch file to do what you want, then have the ftp client do it automatically (I don't remember much about how to do this--it was quite a while ago I played with it at all--but you should be able to find info around). I don't have much experience with batch programming, so I'm not sure whether you could filter files correctly with one or not. If not, you could write a pretty simple program in c/c++ that could generate the script for the ftp client. I'll maybe make one in a couple weeks when I have some free time. If you know anybody with programming skills, run the ftp client script idea by them--it makes things quite a bit less difficult.

I'm currently working on a program that does this. Basically it compares the contents of 2 directories (even over a network) and whatever files are not in one directory, it transfers over. I have options to select *.mp3, *.mpg, *.txt, or all files, etc (more file formats too, but I don't feel like listing them all). The project has been on hold for a bit due to the holidays. I'll be sure to keep you all updated.
