You can use the diff(1) command to compare two directories. One of the folders would need to be NFS mounted to the other machine to enable you to do this.

You can use :
Code:
# find /path/to/sourcdirectory | cpio -pdmv /path/to/targetdirectory

To copy the contents of the sourcedirectory to the targetdirectory and only those files that are newer in the source directory or else don't yet exist in the target directory will get copied.

Or else take a look at rdiff or rsync and rdist?

Is that what you are after?

Thank you so much for your quick response
but can I call that (synchronization between two folders)?

unison is another option you have. some of my co-workers use it happily
