Synchronise Directories
Syncronise directories using rsync. This just uses system2 to shell out to call rsync; not any fancy library connections or anything. On windows, install Rtools and this package will work.
WARNING This package just wraps rsync. It doesn't protect you from it deleting all your files, overwriting your thesis or painting your pet dog.
