Windows at Work, Puppy at Home ... something like robocopy
Posted: Mon 01 Oct 2012, 18:00
New to this forum and to Puppy / Linux
Have done some searching / browsing here; mostly just get lost and confused.
On Windows XP, now Win 7, I got used to using robocopy; also fairly proficient at writing DOS .bat scripts.
I want to use a thumb drive to keep folders with subfolders "synchronized" between the office (Win 7) and home (frugal install running on an old Windows box; can still boot Windows)
Robocopy knows how to recognize files having different timestamps because of how Windows treats the USA daylight Savings Time change but otherwise identical as identical files.
Can someone give me some pointers where to look for how to do that running under Puppy? (The files at home are still on the Win XP NTFS partition)
