Stu Have you trie Unison File synchronizer (https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) to synchronize the user stored data. Runs on UniX Windows MacOSX and uses SSH. It can be run with a cron job on Linux or scheduled in Windows to keep machines on a network synchronized. I only run it manually but it keeps all my userfiles synched onseveral unixboxes and selected files to a Windows 10.
