GSync

This is my rewrite of SyncFTP. It is still in its initial phases at the moment. I was interested in some of the Gnome libraries so decided on this as a way to learn more about them.

• Uses Gnome-VFS to abstract away the filesystem - this means it can use any directory which can be accessed via gnome-vfs: this includes local files (file://), ftp, and ssh. This layer of abstraction means that it could potentially be useful for other purposes, eg. syncing palmtops
• Uses Gconf to store passwords for remote sites.
• Abstracted UI allowing for both GUI and Console clients.
• I have created a tiny (single module, its hardly even a library) library called uristream which allows access to gnome-vfs URIs using the standard C library functions. Its kind of a hack but it may be useful to other projects.

CVS

You can now access the source code in CVS from the SyncFTP CVS repository

Status

The major components have been written. However, they have not yet been brought together into a full program that can be used yet. In terms of completeness of the individual components, they have surpassed the level of the original syncftp. However, the program as a whole is not yet usable.
