When you set up the GUI for UNISON you probably created a profile and specified 'Root 1' and 'Root 2' which are the two folders you want to syncronise. What did you put there? > I only ask because I have a > syncing app on my windows box and it says that the firewall on my laptop > is preventing it from communicating. I'm not completely sure. If I recall, one of your folders was on a file server of some description? Unison needs to be installed on both ends of a network connection for it to work, so that may be your problem. This is why I would like to see how you specified the folders to sync. > Thanks for your help, it's really appreciated! No problem.
