I only recently found FFS. I haven't even tried to install it yet. Here is what we are trying to do.
We will have many Centos32 based and Raspberry Pi (hopefully thousands) systems that will be remote to our network. All of these systems will be running as servers. We will need to synchronize only a few files on each system. Since none of the systems will have aDesktop (so to speak) is it possible to get FFS to automatically sync to a main server? Our goal is to be able to change a file on the main server at our office for a specific machine.
Thanks for any suggestions

What you describe should be possible if you can get FreeFileSync to compile and run on those systems.
But for something as simple as you describe, why wouldn't you just use rsync to synchronise the files and cron to run rsync on your desired schedule. Both rsync and cron and already in Raspbian, and will be automatically kept up to date from the Raspbian repositories, so will be a whole lot easier to maintain.
