Folder Synchronization

[Justin Willmert]

Sorry about the HTML formatting. Last time I sent a message, it sent as 
plain text, but this time it sent as HTML. Weird. Anyways...

Again, I'm going to have to say this isn't quite what I want, although 
this (without any kind of modification or "hacking" I mentioned in one 
reply) *is* closer than rsync.

Thanks for the comment though. Every suggestion I get may give me links 
to something that does meet my needs, so I really do appreciate every reply.
