Synchronizing files between two computers

[Victor]

I've got two computers connected on a network, one WinXP and another
Win2000. Both contain a folder, FolderA. Both computers are successfully
networked (after 3 hours of work!).

I want FolderA on the WinXP computer to always reflect the contents of
FolderA on the Win2000 computer. All files need to be available and on the
WinXP computer when they are not networked together).

Briefcase doesn't seem to do it (I think). Synchronization manager might do
it, but I can't see how to set it up.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do this, please?

Thanks,

Vic

I have used Fileware's Filesync for some years and think that it is superb:

The only small problem is that, although it works perfectly between ntfs
systems, care has to be taken between ntfs and fat systems on the day after
the clocks go back/forward (but this can be handled easily - see website).
Best of luck - Rob
