I'm getting fed up with manually transferring files from one PC to my laptop and visa versa. I work from both machines and each time I edit files on one, either at home, or away, I have to manually transfer the files across.

Is it possible to set up WHS to have an automatic transfer folder? If so, how?

Both laptop and PC are running Vista.

Thanks in advance!
 
I like the idea of dropbox. The only thing I'm concerned about is the information is senstive and am wary about it being stored in the 'cloud'.

I'm going to have a look at Live mesh and will be interested in the robocopy script! May be in touch , Marc :)

Thanks for the info guys :)
 
I'm just trying Sync Toy from Microsoft. Seems to be adequate and does what I need. Looks like I'll be sticking with that for now.

I'd rather it was automatic when I powered up the machines but I guess you can't have everything!
 
Before I have a go at that script, what will happen if the server isn't on when the script runs? Will it just be a case of receiving an error message?
