Syncing files on a USB Flash Drive

[Curious Joe]

I work on a handful of documents that I would like to move around with
a USB drive between the computers I use. Is there a way to, when the
USB drive is plugged into the system, to check the dates on the USB
files and the computer local files and sync them based on the most
current?

Thanks,

CJ

A simple utility named SyncToy might do the job:

hello cj,

don't have an exact answer
but possibly a freeware called
RoboCopy from microsoft.com
might help.

according to a posting, i remember
reading that this freeware can be
used on winxp machines eventhouh
it was designed for servers.

the synctoy fills my needs, but this
freeware gain some of my interest and
is why i remembered it here....
