Neat. Except that I want to copy *only* the stories that I particularly
want to send to my newsdesk, and they need to happen *right away*. Syncing
everything, and on a crontab, would be both overkill and late; I have lots
of things that I'm working on at any given time, but not all are ready to
go over.
Sometimes Applescript *is* the best solution :-) though I can certainly
see the benefits of rsync in this context too; I'd just tie the rsync
script to my key combo.
But which version of rsync? My "man rsync" shows a line (in the options for
what it can copy) saying " Note that in all cases (other than listing) at
least one of the source and destination paths must be local." Does local
there include "on the Appletalk network you're connected to"? Because
otherwise, neither of my locations is local.
