Does anyone use Sync Toy?
I'm looking to replace GoToMyPc. (way to expensive and I can use RDP for remote access
I keep files on a server and a workstation and need to copy/append from one to the other and back again...
Can I append newer files to other folder?
Can you schedule automatic backups?
Can it save multiple configurations or repeat (remember) last used?
Thanks
I've only used it manually. Looks like it does have command line functions. You can save "folder pairs" and run them from the command line. I presume you can use Windows Scheduler to make things happen at a specified time.

C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1>synctoycmd -?
Usage: SyncToyCmd [-args]
-R Run all folder pairs that are marked as Active for Run All.
-R <name> Run the named folder pair (only one folder pair can be specified).
-? Display this help.
Examples:
SyncToyCmd -R MyFolderPair
SyncToyCmd -R

Looks like you can also use SyncToy command line functions but synctoy -? pops open a window with syntax that I can't copy/paste. I can try to snip.
Edit: A bit more on the three functions:
Synchronize: New and updated files are copied both ways. Renames and deletes on either side are repeated on the other.
Echo: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right.
Contribute: New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames on the left are repeated on the right. No deletions.
