I have a MacBook Pro, a Windows 7 desktop, and a Fedora 13 netbook. I have been searching far and wide for an automatic solution to sync files (pictures, music, docs, etc...) between the three when they are all on the same LAN.
To better explain, when I get home and turn my MacBook on, I want it to sync automatically any file changes to Windows 7 and the netbook. Likewise if I make changes on my Windows 7 box, I want them to be reflected on my Mac.
I can use rsync, but it is not automatic as far as I can tell, and I would use Dropbox but I have a lot more that 2 gigs and do not want to pay. I also do not need internet syncing. I just want local LAN.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance.
1Did you think about putting everything on a single headless server on your LAN? – romainl – 2011-02-08T05:36:06.323

It may be worth your time learning how to use the command line rsync, for more flexibility. Please note what you end up using with whatever detail you can manage, it's a common problem that we're all interested in. – tobylane – 2011-02-08T08:49:48.867
Thanks guys for the posts. My Desktop can act as a server, headless or not, but getting the auto sync is what I need. As answered below I will look at Unison first. I will certainly post ant solution I find. – Siriss – 2011-02-08T11:30:51.040
