[SourceJammer-users] Re: SourceJammer - server/repository synchronization

[Robert M. <rob...@ya...>]

Hi, Dan.

Why do you need to synchronize the code to multiple servers? Is this for backup purposes?
Regardless, I developed a little utility that can synchronize files from one server to another.
It's command line based and can easily be wrapped in a cron job. It uses FTP and is "smart" enough
to only send new files or files that have changed.

It only synchronizes one way, however, and it does not track deleted files. 

If you're interested, this project is called SyncJammer and you can get it from
http://syncjammer.sourceforge.net
