If you know what you're doing, e.g. know what a "shell" is, you can

Interesting, TIm, but I don't see how it has anything to do with that
Rick is trying to do.
As far as I understand it, in broad strokes, Rick wants to "copy"/"sync"
his LR catalog from his workstation to his more portable laptop, do some
work there on the laptop, then "copy"/"sync" his work back to his
workstation. He expects any changes he made on the laptop to be 100%
reflected on the workstation.
The rsync solution Tim describes should accomplish this. Plus it's
*really* fast.
Now to be more precise, Rick said he planned to copy over only a subset
of his LR catalog, but if you could easily get the entire thing, then
why not?
ChronoSync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
does what rsync does but in a much more user friendly, easily
configurable way. And you don't need to know any command line
operations, etc. It only costs $30.
Sounds like a good solution to the need-to-know-shell restriction.
