Hi,

first of all thank you for a great tool! I'm using it to synchronize several
folders from a server via VPN with TrueCrypt Discs and it just works like a
charm.

What I still would like to know: is it possible to sync from several PCs
against one server directory (e. g. synchronizing project directories on the
server with several notebooks using TrueCrypt for the projects)?

Oh, and one more suggestion: it would be great to have a FAQ on things like
this as well as on changes from one version to another.

Please keep up the great work!

Best regards

Sure, just "do" it. Maybe the question was more about "is it safe to do it"?
Yes, it's safe. FreeFileSync has a directory locking mechanism implemented
that is able to lock multiple directories accessing the same folder even
within a distributed network.

> FAQ
This is the F1 help file. It's improving constantly and has just received a
major upgrade for the upcoming FreeFileSync release.

Hi, thanks for the quick and helpful reply.

It might be a good idea to post the change log also on the web site. Surely
other users like me prefer to check changes before updating. But that's just a
suggestion to make a great thing still better.

Thanks again and best regards
