NCPSync is the NetWare utility, that allows you to synchronize
given directory tree to other server (and other directory) through NCP.
Source and destination servers may belong to different NDS trees.
Source directory _always_ remains unchanged. Destination directory changed
to reflect file/directories state in source directory. You may remove
destination files that not exist in source directory, or you may leave files
unchanged. At my point of view, using this tool is the only native way to
synchronyze directories on servers.. At my point of view, this tool works better than rsync.

Sorry for poor manual.

Please see ncpsync.conf.sample for parameters.

Please see readme.txt for some information.

What namespaces does it support?

Submitted by geoffc on 13 January 2009 - 9:35pm.

Does this support all the name spaces? Trustees? Ownership of the files?

Can it handle Mac files? Long file names? NSS volumes vs Traditional Volumes? UTF-8 file names?
