Hi - this may not be sophisticated enough, but I've used "Copyto=20
synchronizer" for several years:

http://www.kish-d.com/

to keep files on lappy and desktop in sync.  You get to choose different=20
synchronization types, as in "make the target the same as the source -=20
deleting files on target as necessary" vs. "propagate changes on either=20
side to the other".

It was shareware, I haven't updated it in 2 years, looks like it is free=20
now.  It was a whopping $15.  :)  Actually there are a bunch of new=20
features, it is in active development, always a good sign.

May not be sufficient, but take a quick peek.

Cheers,
J
