If that's all you want to do - sync directories between two machines periodically - then don't reinvent the wheel, just install 'unison' and be done with it: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ It can even sync between Windows<->Unix (I have a friend who does this). To run unison over ssh, then I think the easiest way would be to install cygwin on both sides and use the cygwin unison package (I presume there is one). unison is cool because, unlike rsync, it can sync bidirectionally. A file created/edited/deleted on side A will be replicated to side B, and vice versa. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
