My problem is I have two directories from my home's computer and company's
computer need be synced. The two computers can not be linked directly by
network. I do it by copy the directory into my Udisk or upload it to the
ftp, then overwrite the old directory. I think it is a stupid method for much
of files do not be modified in the process. So I try to find a solution that I
can just copy files which are modified to Udisk.

I'not sure if I describe it clearly, :$

Thank you very much!
