File replication in a workgroup environment

Question

I have two web servers where I need to sync some folders. I'd like to use Windows Distributed File System Replication (DFSR), but the servers are in a workgroup environment, which is not supported by DFSR.

Can anyone recommend other tools which can be used to achieve the same?

Are you runnning windows or linux? And what is DFSR? Presumably a Windows environment since you talk about workgroups, but are the servers running Windows too? — serverhorror, Jun 07 '11 at 19:00

Create an account with the same username and password on both systems. Make a share on the one being replicated to. Run robocopy /Mir in a scheduled job under that user account. Bam, poor-man's replication.

Master/slave. Make changes to the master only and never the slave. – hookenz Jul 10 '12 at 21:14
