Hey all,

I’m looking for a solution to transfer files from my friends Extertal hard drive across the country to my external hard drive. Ideally the solution would look like this: he selects which folders are to be transferred (and sub folders), and the computer will begin uploading in transferring that data to my hard drive. It will keep track of which files have been transferred, and not attempt to sync them again (that way it doesn’t attempt to resend a file if I delete it on my end). Hopefully it would be easy to setup, and it would automatically start up if either computer is restarted, or loses Internet connection for some reason.

Basically I just want a program that asks which files are to be synced, and then sends them over once, regardless of what I do with them.

Any thoughts on a solution?

Thanks all :)
