Hi
I would like to know how to go about developing an application which
can sync folders of the same user on the internet, in the same lines as
foldershare.com . Do they rely on the CIFL(common internet file system)
or do they create their own private p2p networks?

Rahul;

I don't know anything about cifl but I've used a few sync apps. It
sounds like you may want to check out Prof Pierce's work over at the
University of Pennsylvania...
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/

Check out his team's work on Unison and Harmony. Everything they've
been releasing is under gpl and there are a lot of supporting papers, etc.

g'luck,

now that microsoft bought foldershare.com
and they added folder sync in the new msn messenger live,

I dont see how a program can compete against them....
 
sorry, I was stupid...

of course someone can make a program that can compete with MS...

perhaps a multiplatform program, that has a very intuitive interface...?

Perhaps a web service? (there were some last time I looked)...

I have been using foldershare since it first came out... and I know a few
things
that would make such programs far better...

if you need any ideas, tell me...
