Defining Locations Using SynkSharing

If a folder you want to synchronize is on another Mac you control running Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or later, SynkSharing is the best and easiest way to synchronize with the remote machine.

The “local” Mac is the one where you’re setting up the Synk script, and the “remote” Mac is the one where the other folder you want to synchronize is located. If either of these machines is using software like a firewall that may restrict network connections, see Using SynkSharing with a Firewall.

To define a location using SynkSharing:

Remember to keep the remote Mac's version of Synk updated to the latest version whenever you update the local Mac's version of Synk. While we try and maintain some backwards compatibility for large deployments where it's hard to upgrade everything at the same time, SynkSharing will work best if both versions are the same, and you'll want to make sure you've got all the latest bug fixes and improvements anyway.
