Let's say a laptop and desktop (Mac mini). I want to keep both in sync when on the same network. What's the very best way to automatically sync specific folders?
Thanks

1Jeff, This is sysadmin related since I'm the admin of both systems, and synchronization is an administrative topic (you even have a tag for it ;) – Jordan Jun 10 '09 at 12:54

- Old school: rsync (should be installed already)
- New school: Dropbox

Dropbox doesn't mention much about security. Saying that the data is 256 AES encrypted when stored doesn't fill me with confidence, really. However, I really like the suggestion. Thanks. – Jordan Jun 10 '09 at 12:52

Mobile Me is what apple would like you to use but you can also check Busysync, it works OK to sync ical. and Chronosync to sync files.

Not so much worried about iCal. I tried Chronosync in the past and was disappointed. Might need to take another look. Thanks. – Jordan Jun 10 '09 at 12:53
