Oh, so now you want us to read the original post before we shoot our mouths off with an answer? You haven't been here long have you? <g>
I've read up on rsync quite a lot thanks to your suggestions, and it sounds perfect, EXCEPT, I was hoping to have it integrate directly into Fox via a .dll or active x. Would there be an easy easy way to get the current windows build of cygwin to work with fox? Seems like it would require a lot of installing on the client machine, ie, cygwin, etc..
CygWIn comes with an installer, and the last link in my previous posting pointed to a pre-built Windows installer for rsync with a minimal CygWin to support it. I haven' tried it, but the idea is great!
If I was really smart and had lots of time, I would go through the rsync code and write it to work in pure windows as a dll myself.. but the rsync algo makes my head spin a bit.. I'm sure given enough time, I surely could do it, but I don't have that kind of free time.. ;)
Yeah, not the kind of programming I do every day, either.
I had several implantation ideas in mind, but the main one was to backup my client's dbf files remotely to my machines here. It sounds like I could probably install rsync and all related software on each machine to make it work, so if nothing else comes of it, I'll probably do that.
As long as you can count on users not performing data changes while you do the synchronization, you could probably set this up as a batch job to run in the evenings... come to think of it, I have a client where this might be a good deal for us, too! -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
