wow, thank you both for your input. i was going to look at rsync, but wasnt sure
couple of questions, explain how the -del or -delete works. is that the part that will remove a file from the dest if it has been removed from source? man rsync says -del and -delete are a bit different
if i have symlinks in certain directories that point to files that are being synced anyway do i still use the -l
---------- Post updated at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous update was at 08:32 PM ----------
think i answered my own questions
--ignore-existing will not sync the file if it exists on the dest, but will it check to see if the file has changed first before it skips it?

gitmount
gitmount(1) General Commands Manual gitmount(1)
NAME
gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script
SYNTAX
gitmount device
DESCRIPTION
gitmount is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type. You may now insert the floppy in
the drive and type ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0. On Linux just press F11 or F12. You
don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist.
