Hello David. I tried Unison extensively because it's available for both Windows and Debian. I thought it would be great for miroring the Debian files to the Windows machine etc. I found it far worse to use than rsync. I followed the instructions exactly but I never got it to work. It uses a complicated url scheme that doesn't conform to standards. While it uses a protocol similar to rsync, it isn't the same. It has no means of encrypting the files. The documentation makes it clear that it is not secure and shouldn't be used for anything critical. I found that scp works a lot better, is far more secure and actually works. I eventually got the files that way and had ssh encryption as a bonus. Believe me, I would rather learn rsync than try that again. I'm sure it's useful rfor some applications but not in this case. Also both systmes must run the same version which means that all old versions need to be kept available. As you probably know, Debian stable can be a few versions behind the regular development. As it turned out, the versions didn't match so I had to find an older Windows version to get it to work. Thanks anyway. At 07:56 PM 6/30/06 -0400, you wrote:
