What is 'foldershare'? What do you want to do? Be specific.

anything -- just give him time to rationalize it.

If you mean SBM-shares (Windows), so use Samba for server or client.

I haven't heard of any online service that is like it, no. But I did
hear that Foldershare supported linux and mac before Microsoft bought
it.

Be sure to thank uncle Bill.

foldershare is a software from microsoft that runs a client-server app on
your PC and you can run that app on any other PC in the internet and set
folders to be synchronized automatically. Pretty nice, using it at work
with Windows...and would like to use it to synchronize a folder on my home
computer (linux) with the one i got at work (running FS) ;)
