OldManRiver Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 All, Looking for a PHP driven package to synchronize files on machines, with DB (MySQL) backend and searchable/syncable by: 1. Topic/Content, 2. Date, 3. Project, 4. Latest, 5. Exclusion List Driven (for directories and/or files to ignore when syncing), 6. Thumb/Flash Drive or CD/DVD media, non networked sync transport, 7. Integratable with Backup/Recovery/ISO imaging program(s). If you know one please reply. If not willing to Open Source with someone to make this happen. Program with partial functionality considered. Currently have the following machines that need syncing: 1. Window 2000 Pro Desktop 2ea., 2. Linux Ubuntu Desktop 1ea., 3. Linux Gentoo Desktop 1ea., 4. Linux Gentoo Server 1ea., 5. Window 2000 Pro Laptop 2ea. Actually started coding this and found it too large to do quickly or alone. Please leave msg throught this board or reply. Thanks!

OldManRiver Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 What are you posting a freelance project for in here, and no one is going to do your work for you for free I'm looking for existing code. I guess I need to clarify this, as I'm sure you are not the only one who might have mis-read this. Also are you a noobie? Searching for existing code and/or Open Source is not even in the same ball park as freelance. Freelance means someone gets paid. Open Source is totally free.

todding01 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I may have misread your needs also. But, are you looking for a php application that can sycronize files on and between all your computers? If so, that type of activity is best suited for a file server and an application like subversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am offended by your lack of respect for the php world by your comments here, and I would be appalled by any respectful person coming to your aid when you are asking for someone to hand over work for free/do a google search for you.

OldManRiver Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 All, Got some information on products named "groove", "sharepoint" and "subversion". What do you know about these? My Google search shows "Groove" and "Sharepoint" as MicroTrash products and not Open Source. Subversion shows as Apache (can run on localhost, so solves security issue) enabled Open Source replacement for CVS. My criteria for operations are: Needs to scan the local files, for changes, against DB, then prepare files for transport via 1.) Network Exchange, 2.) FTP, 3.) Flash Drive, 4.) CD/DVD. Anyone tried this and how well does it work. How close to meeting my requirements is this? I want your feedback Thanks! OMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManRiver Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 All, Writing spec for this and will pastebin with URL. Thanks! OMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awpti Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 And this still falls under freelance. Post your request in the freelance forum. Freelancing doesn't necessarily mean pay. Just means someone is looking for a coder, wether or not they're paying a coder is willing. Doesn't sound like any existing project I've ever seen.

OldManRiver Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 All, I think I now know what I'm looking for. It would be like a combination of: PCdocs or Worldox, Subversion, Duplicate file eliminator, Data Sync Tools, Collaboration Suite/Tool Backup/Recovery Software. But instead of the repository being the active directory (like subversion), the local machine become the active directory much like FoxMarks (Firefox), where the online database serves only to coordinate and make sure all users/machines contain the latest file/file revision and in the right path etc. Ex: User A on machine A, in the company network, is also a user on Laptop 1, which he takes home and to meetings. This user needs all the code and power point presentations needed for marketing demos. On Machine A the user's files are in: H:\UserA\My Docs the code resides at: P:\Programs\ProgramA\source on the Laptop the files are stored at: C:\Documents & Settings\UserA\My Doucuments and code at: C:\ProgramA\source Additionally User B supports User A from Machine B on the network writing to the same code source directory, but has his/her notes and local development at: C:\ProgramA\docs User B is controlled by Subversion, but User A is not. But User A needs the notes for review before each presentation. Additionally the marketing team makes entries to a database that shows to User A at: M:\Marketing\DB\data User A must have the lastest data when making the presentation. Part of the presentation shows data which must be relevent daily. Additionally User A must have access to and update all docs on his/her laptop prior to departing the company for the next scheduled presentation. Q: How is this all done seamlessly either by Program with "Sync" button or by script in the "Shutdown" sequence on User A's computer, that syncs his/her latest files and data with all the latest in his/her world? I found the following links to software that seems to have some of the answers: http://www.sharewareconnection.com/ajc-directory-synchronizer.htm http://allwaysync.com/?g=1&gclid=CIO9m9_pzpYCFRLoxgodm1AFyA http://www.cardrecovery.com/?rid=google&kid=crct0802 http://www.sharewareconnection.com/comparedata.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/comparatorpro.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/compare-advance.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/db-explorer.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/diffnmerge.htm http://www.goodsync.com/land/land.php?affid=gocg6&frm=frame13&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc-content&utm_campaign=goodsync http://www.sharewareconnection.com/idem.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/kls-backup-2005-professional.htm http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/?crcat=ppc&crsource=google&crkw=data%20recovery&gclid=CNSkiovqzpYCFQNKxwodjWUzwQ http://www.sharewareconnection.com/file-compare-folder-synchronization-software.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/smart-suite-for-mysql.htm http://www.file-utilities.com/duplicate_files.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/smartsynchronize.htm http://www.sharewareconnection.com/synchronize-folders.htm http://www.tucows.com/preview/361109 Obviously I'm looking for an Open Source version of this combination or wish to collaborate with those who think this is worthwhile. I've downloaded all the shareware software from the links and evaluating features to put into the spec I'm writing for this, but only get about 1 hour a week on this, so progress is slow.
