Hi, I am a new emacs user and I am exploring org-mode which is really amazing.
I would like to know how I sync org-mode files in different computer over local
network and over the internet.
Tks,

Hi,
I personally use git to sync my org-mode files but there are lots of
tools available to sync files across multiple machines.
Some options are:
- put your org-mode files in a source control system (git, svn,
whatever system you are used to) and check out the files on all your
target systems
- Use unison
- Use rsync
You'll probably want to investigate what works best for your usage
scenario.

I use bzr (another vcs). My system is to place my org files on a server
at home and mount the org directory as an nfs share on my local
computers. Thus when I am at home I can access org files from any
computer on my home network, or just run emacs on the server.
Every evening a cron job automatically commits any changes to my
server's bzr repo and at the same time pushes the updates to an external
web server.
On my notebook I have a local bzr branch of my org files. This covers
most bases when I am away:
If I remember before I go out, I can pull the latest changes from my
home server to my notebook and just carry on working. If I forget to
pull my changes I can pull all changes up to last evening's commit from
the Internet.
If all the above fails, I can just work on the branch I have on my
notebook. This isn't usually more than a couple of days old. When I get
to somewhere with an Internet connection I can use bzr to merge the
changes on my notebook to the latest version.
It also means that I have at least three copies of my org files in
different places, so disk failures, etc won't result in much, or any,
lost work.
Ian.

Thanks for sharing your system, right now I am trying git and
making a similar system.

I think most people will agree that the best way to sync org-mode files
is to keep them under some kind of version control system. The
advantage that has over something like rsync is that if you happen to
make changes in different places (laptop and home, for example) without
synchronizing in between (because you forget, or because your network
connection is down, or something), then you can merge your edits in some
way more fine-grained than "newest change wins".
I started out using Subversion (svn) to keep my org-mode files, and am
now using Mercurial (hg), which has both the advantages of being a dvcs
(every working copy is also a complete repository) and of being easier
to set up. Many people also like git or bzr. For just the purposes of
syncing your org-mode files, which one you choose isn't very important.
