Two computers are conected over the network. I have tryed to use Briefcase, but there is no instructions, how to do it. Is there any other ideas?

Thanks for that link...for some reason I have been unable to get EZSync working on my computers. This one worked like a charm.

Here's a tool that I've used quite a bit between my laptop and work/home computer.

Here is the DOS batch script I use. I run it from my root music folder.

Sync.bat

Code:

net use x: "\\192.168.0.2\c$\!Library" /persistent:no
xcopy /c /s /e *.mp3 x: /-y  < no.txt

You also need a no.txt file that just contains the letter 'n' repeated many many times (at least one 'n' for each mp3 you have). No newlines. e.g.

no.txt

Code:

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
