Sync files with network - possible?

[dmurray14]

Hey guys,

I have a shared storage drive on my file server that I would like to have mirrored on my macbook so I can take the data with me. Copying it is a no-brainer, but I haven't figured out an easy way to get it to sync. Is there a straightforward method to sync the local files with the network files? I don't need anything too elaborate, it doesn't even need to be two-way..I just want any new files on the server to appear on my laptop. If it matters, the file share is through samba, on a windows machine.

Thanks!

Dan

Something like the 'off-line files' option that Windows XP provides?

rsync

"man rsync" in a Terminal.app window.
