Rob,
Thanks for the information on SyncJammer. It sounds wonderful!
I am working in a development environment that has 17 developers, hence the need for SourceJammer. These developers work on any number of our 58 live sites. My proposed synchronization is basically a way to lock down the live servers and only add files from a repository server (running SourceJammer) to the respective servers.
So, if I have a SourceJammer Client on the repository server, and can get actual files to synchronize with, I will be golden. Of course, I need to keep the version control aspect, and don't want to have to manually update my repository files every time one of the developers adds files. That being said, my ideal situation would be the following:
- developer checks new files into SourceJammer
- "something" causes the SourceJammer client on the repository server to update the actual files in its structure.
- an application is launched that finds new and changed files and FTPs them to the server that they are associated with.
I am just trying to keep the developers from accessing the live servers directly while maintaining a versioning environment in case of file corruption or developer malfunction (bad code). :-)
Thanks again!
Cheers,
--Dan

Hi, Dan.
Why do you need to synchronize the code to multiple servers? Is this for backup purposes?
Regardless, I developed a little utility that can synchronize files from one server to another.
It's command line based and can easily be wrapped in a cron job. It uses FTP and is "smart" enough
to only send new files or files that have changed.
It only synchronizes one way, however, and it does not track deleted files.
If you're interested, this project is called SyncJammer and you can get it from
http://syncjammer.sourceforge.net

I have several servers that I need to synchronize with the code on my repository server, in
various archives. What I want to do is develop a web application, or a cron job, that will
allow whatever files have been changed to be pulled down and ftp'd to the appropriate server
without human intervention.
I was thinking that using a command line to keep the files synchronized would work, but I can't
quite figure out how to get that implemented. Another thought was to somehow modify the source
code to automatically FTP the modified files to the server that is associated with the archive.
Has anyone done something like this, or could anyone give me some pointers on this? I am new to
SourceJammer and would love to get some assistance.
Cheers,
