Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I agree that placing dir2 to dir1 and linking dir2 to dir1 synchronizes them, but how will i be able to determine that the files in dir2 are the most recent files and not those in dir1? How can I determine which files in which directory is more recent without manually checking them 1 by 1. And what if their directory structures are different?
