Online file sync

2 replies · 2,108 views · Started 21 February 2008

Hi guys,

I've got an N95 and a good unlimited data tariff. What I'd like to do is be able to share files between it and other computers via the web.

Ideally I'd like something where I can store files online in something like box.net or xdrive.com and then map a folder on my PC or my linux box and also sync it onto my N95 whilst I'm out and about via my data tariff. Is there any software out there than can do that kind of online file sync?

Thanks,
Kieran

There is an ftp client from http://www.sic-software.com which would let you do it manually.

There is an rsync client for S60 available from http://thinkabdul.com/2007/11/29/rsync-symbian-synchronize-nokia-s60-files-with-multiple-foldersdirectories-on-computer-via-ssh-over-wifi/

I hadn't realised that rysnc for S60 was available and I want to do something similar myself, so I'll let you know how I get on!

Update:

The rsync app complains about a missing library. You also need to install their ssh forwarding app, which costs $40 to register. This is more than I am willing to pay, so I haven't investigated further. Full details at http://www.sshforwarding.com
