Dear LQ,

My goal is to copy each file received in a directory on host A to be immediately transferred to host B. If file is modified, the modified version should also immediately be transferred.

I have searched for "sync" in my package manager and a lot of results came out. The relevant ones (my own selection) were :

- csync2
- dirvish
- fssync
- inosync
- lsyncd
- clsync
- unison


I am looking for recommendations and feedback/experience on these tools.

rsync in a cron is already used, so don't bother recommending that.

Thanks for your input.

inotifywatch followed by rsync. KISS.

Beware of incrond, it will crash spectacularly on recursive subdirectory creation

So I tried lsyncd but the problem is that my source folder is a webdav mount.
There is no kernel notification mechanisme for remote filesystems like nfs,
cifs, webdav, sshfs etc. So lsyncd won't work for this scenario. Still trying
to figure out a solution...
