Synchronize customized .mac homepages with sitecopy
Authored by: pixelcort on Mar 19, '03 04:55:54PM
For those of you who don't want to have to deal with all those steps, rsync is a much better option. Sorry for the self-plug, but I have written a nice little frontend to rsync called iMirror (http://homepage.mac.com/pixelcort/imirror/) . This AppleScript Studio app is very simple: Two text fields, a checkbox and a button. Just mount your iDisk in the Finder and then run iMirror. Click on the button and rsync will figure out the changes that you have made and upload them. iMirror is also good for backing up to a r/w location, such as another partition or something. http://homepage.mac.com/pixelcort/imirror/ (iMirror) is licenced under the GNU Public License and the source code is available. You could probably add a line of code to mount your iDisk so that you don't have to mount it seperately. That's the power of open-source combined with AppleScript Studio!
