Copy Program

[dr0be]

I'm trying to find a program:

I'm looking for a prog that sits in the background (preferably without anyone knowing) and monitors folders that you tell it to watch and when new files are made it copies them somewhere else that you want.

Anyone know of such a thing?

You could try synctoy or robocopy gui

I gave those a glance. They're both copying programs but would they monitor a folder and do it automatically?

*edit* I tried out synctoy. It did what I wanted it to do but the only thing is it doesn't update automatically. Only way you can do it is to set up a scheduled task. I want it to just sit as a process (in the background, hidden) and copy stuff as files are made.

*2ndedit* I was curious if the whole program would come up to copy during a scheduled task or if it would do it hidden. I tried making a scheduled task to test it. Couldn't even get it to work. Not sure why.

try unison (free, open source)

xxcopy and robocopy will also work, the thing is, you just need to create a scheduled task which will run every say 5-10 seconds to keep each location in sync.
if you cant do that with windows task scheduler, then you can also do it using Perl.
