Metropol

does anybody know of any free utilities that will syncronise two folders, in a bi-directional way? i've had quite a trawl round and haven't found anything much that looks all the great.

any links would be really helpful

Um, Windows Briefcase?

Look it up in Windows Help.

thanks neil, the briefcase is quite a handy tool, but i want to syncronise two directory trees on two different workstations

Not sure if this site is any help, but its got me out of a few holes many times before.

for those of you that may find it useful, i've come across a little website with quite a few utilities, including a filesync tool, install monitor and a useful app that generates checksums on a whole tree so you can see if something is modifying your files that you don't know about. all free, and all here: http://www.2brightsparks.com

Could this tool do what you want? (link immediately below text - seems to be white on my machine at the moment!)
