Application to sync two folders over lan?

Hey,

Can anyone recommend a program that can sync folders on different computers over the lan?

Trying to keep my music collection on my desktop the same as on my laptop

Thanks

Rsync? Works great on Linux. There's probably a windows version.

Well I use Dropbox to do just that amongst other things.

Why not simply share your music collection from one location?

I would suggest DropBox if your collection is below 2GB [or you are willing to pay for extra storage] since you can access the music from any Internet enabled computer with DropBox installed.

If it is just over the LAN you need it, and you have more than 2GB, just use a Robocopy script run every so often to sync the two machines. Or Syncback, as above, if you are afraid of the command line!
