Syncronize files between computers

[chickdog1]

I need to syncronize a couple of files between a desktop
and a laptop. Both computers will be on our corporate
network in order to transfer the files from the desktop to
the laptop. I would like this to be as easy as clicking an
icon for the user.
I used to make a batch file and use a simple "copy"
command. Is this still feasible and/or adviseable?

Thank You,

You could use a batch file, or you could use offline files, or (my pick) see
www.centered.com - SecondCopy 2000. One of my new faves.

Batch file using ROBOCOPY (Windows Resource Kit) would be the best and
most bandwidth efficient means (it updates only files that are
changed).

See the ROBOCOPY FAQ:
