I need to develop a file synchronization application to sync my files from my local computer to my remote server. My local OS is windows and remote OS is Unix. I can access files on the remote on FTP.
Is file’s ‘modified date’ enough to find out files that has been changed on my computer?
Maybe, but why reinvent the wheel?
Unison, lftp (for FTP only) or rsync have solved these issues awhile ago.
