Possible Duplicates:
Keeping folders synced between several machines
File syncing across multiple operating systems

Is there something like FolderShare that I can run on my Windows and Ubuntu machines? I believe FolderShare had Mac and Linux clients before it was acquired by Microsoft but it seems to be gone now.

PS: I'm not interested in online backup services, just something that can keep specific folders synced between two or more computers without storing the file(s) in the server (P2P like).

Accessing the shared folders via an online interface (like what FolderShare used to do) is a plus.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean by "without storing the file(s) in the server." Can you clarify? – jonfhancock Feb 12 '10 at 18:17
@jonfhancock: Know what Windows Live Mesh / Dropbox is? That's what I don't want. – Alix Axel Feb 12 '10 at 18:26
@~quack: SU is becoming pretty much useless by the day, except from the "File syncing across multiple operating systems" question all are Windows only. – Alix Axel Feb 14 '10 at 16:53

I use Dropbox for this purpose. If you want to sync folders outside your "My Dropbox" folder, there is some coaxing required though.
