AKICIDW/LJ: sync mac laptop and desktop?

[firecat]

I need to sync a few folders between a mac laptop and a mac desktop. What should I use?

I have a lot of storage available on my web hosting site. I am willing to shell out for .mac or mobileme or whatever the latest such thing is, if it's easy.

rsync has already been suggested. I could do it that way, but after looking at the man page, I decided I don't want to think that hard.

And if you have any files that still use the old style mac resource forks (like Quicken) rsync will cheerfully ignore those unless you're on 10.4 or higher and use the -E flag (see http://www.egg-tech.com/mac_backup/.)

Are both running Leopard?

Yep!

I can give a hearty recommendation to ChronoSync. Best $40 I ever spent on software.
