Windows Vista supports
 

Synchronize files on two or more computers that you can't connect through a local network.

This is an ideal solution for using the same files both at home and in the office.

Trying to do this by hand is fraught with problems. Because files on the remote computer are inaccessible, you have to remember which files have been created, modified updated and deleted on either side. SmartSync Pro does this for you. Another problem is that you may makes this easy by doing it for you. You might also want to synchronize a lot of files, possibly occupying several hundred files or several gigabytes of information, but you usually change are only a couple of hundred KBytes and you want to transfer only changed files to the second computer changing a few hundred kilobytes of data. SmartSync Pro solves this problem makes this easy for you by tracking any changes made since the last synchronization.

When you are ready to move changed files to the remote computer the program transfer your changes to the second computer, it compresses and combines all the changed files into the a single package, which is then copied  that you can copy that to a floppy, Zip, USB drive or CD/DVD disk or that you can send using email or uploaded to an FTP server.

Once the package arrives at the second computer, SmartSync Pro either loads the package from the removable disk or download it from the FTP server and then applies apply any updates to the destination directories.
