App to sync various folders I specify?

[mark88]

I want to sync various folders across my macs on my LAN. Bookmarks from all my bowsers, Mail plus some other stuff. Is there any app that will do such a thing?

I tried picnic but it only allows you to sync folders with it's directory.

You may not need another program besides Picnic to sync, if you fool it by creating symbolic links to the folders you want synched inside the Picnic sync folder. This requires use of the Terminal, specifically the ln -s command. It's not too hard to do, since you can just drag the folders in question to the command line and Terminal will take care of the rest.

For example:

ln -s /path/to/Picnic/sync/folder/1 /1st/folder/to/sync
ln -s /path/to/Picnic/sync/folder/2 /2nd/folder/to/sync
ln -s /path/to/Picnic/sync/folder/3 /3rd/folder/to/sync

This will create folders called 1, 2, and 3, which are links to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd folders you want synched, respectively.
