Synchronization of 2 directories
I have 2 hosts (server and client), on the client side I mount remote directory (through NFS). How can I synchronize content of 2 directories (one on the client, and one on the server, mounted to the client)? i.e. when client is connected to the server synchronization process is automatically started.
BZW is there any other way to synchronize data on different hosts?
Note: I use Fedora 5/6

I want to do a synchronization from local to ftp.
local:
name modified time
a.txt 10:04
c.txt 10:05
ftp:
b.txt 10:00
c.txt 10:05
final result would be
a.txt copy to ftp
b.txt deleted
c.txt nothing to do
Is there a good way to do so?
Thanks. (3 Replies)

showmount
showmount(1M) showmount(1M)
NAME
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
[host]
DESCRIPTION
lists all clients that have remotely mounted a file system from host. This information is maintained by the server on host (see
mountd(1M)). The default value for host is the value returned by (see hostname(1)).
Options
Print all remote mounts in the format
where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.
List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
Print the list of shared file systems.
WARNINGS
If a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted. In other words, stale entries may
accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.
Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the single
entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
FILES
