For bidirectional synchronization, I would recommend Unison. AFAIK, it doesn't have a mode to listen for changes in the background and act on them immediately, but you could configure a cron job or scheduled task to invoke Unison every few minutes. If you encountered a problem with Unison, you can get help via the "mailing list" at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unison-users . Matt
