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.=20 --=20 +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
