What about just using rsync?
1 comments

That's actually what Dropbox does. It's Python wrapped around the rsync libraries. And a catchy icon. A lot of work went into the icon.

rsync + python + icon = dropbox

I think of Dropbox as rsync for Windows and Mac users who know only how to click and drag, who don't know how to type comments, or who prefer to avoid learning rsync.
