Synchronise folders locally and remotely
This is a frontend for rsync, the commandline directory synchronization tool. It makes use of the GTK libraries and is released under the GPL license, so it is opensource. It doesn't support all of rsync features yet, but can be effectively used to synchronize local or even remote directories. For example some people use grsync to synchronize their music collection with removable devices or to backup personal files to a networked drive.

when i try connect to my ssh server i get this error /usr/bin/ssh-askpass not found.. SO how i fix this?
@Juho-Pekka Kuitunen: there is an option ("Copy symlinks as symlinks" under the "Advanced Options" tab) which turn on the "-l" rsync option. Leaving it unchecked (ie not passing the -l switch to rsync) does not produce the same effect? Are "-l" and "-L" options mutually exclusive or can they co-exist?
Very useful. Perhaps the -L option should be included as a checkbox? I didn't want to sync my whole music collection so just made a symlink collection.
I'm looking at the way it works on the desktop and, hopefully, at a way to replicate it in Maemo.
Cheers for the notes. Hopefully password prompting (or at least enter and store) SSH support is on the plan at some point ? This would make it 'install and go' for most people.
@tom chiverton: As Uwe told you can use grsync over GPRS/WiFi (never used USB networking, but I don't see why it shouldn't work); it works with ssh too and you don't need the "-e ssh" stuff: just use a (source or destination) path of the form "username@remote.server:/path/to/remote/folder". You'll need to set up a password-less authorization for the ssh connection though.
You can use this tool for sure in "over ssh" mode. All you have to do is to add the option: '-e ssh' into the advanced options. Great tool works very well. I used it successfully in WLAN/WiFi and 3G networks.
Could you comment on what this does and does not support ? rsync over SSH, for instance ? will it run over any network connection (USB, WLAN) ?
