Let's say I have

c:\prod\foo.txt

and

c:\work\foo.txt

I would like to get c:\prod\foo.txt automatically and immediately updated from the other file, whenever I change & save c:\work\foo.txt

How can this be accomplished? Installing tools is okay. Windows 7 and up. Symbolic linking is not a solution for me, as the c:\work is deleted every now and then.

Have you looked at SyncToy?

A: Run SyncToy silently addresses this issue.

SyncToy can be used in conjunction with the Windows Scheduler to automate sync operations.

  • what is the smallest interval on Windows Scheduler? A minute? 1 minute is too long, a few seconds would be okay. – Alexei Vinogradov May 06 '15 at 22:58

  • 60 triggers is kinda awkward solution... I'm probably looking for a tool watching on a file in a loop and coping it on a change... – Alexei Vinogradov May 07 '15 at 08:35
