Periodically during the day, I would like to copy the contents of a folder
(with subfolders) from one computer (source) to two other computers on a
home network. It's really nothing more than a simple sync of files because
the data in the folder is only changed by the source computer, but used by
the two other computers. I would like to schedule the sync to occur maybe 3
times per day. The job could run on the source and "push" the folder to the
other 2 computers or each computer could have their own job and pull the
folder. I would prefer the second solution because the source computer is
always on, but the other 2 computers may not be on all the time. I've
considered a simple DOS copy that could be scheduled to run at different
times during the day, but I'm quite rusty on setting up the .EXE file and
scheduling it to run. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might
accomplish this simple sync? The source computer is running XP and the
other 2 computers are running XP and Vista. Thank you.
