FAQ

Windows

Why is windows not supported?

Rsync is rarely used with windows, (tho a windows version do exist) and currently websync only support unix-like paths.

Will windows be supported in the future?

Maybe, depends on the demand... (which will doubtedly happen)

Common

Why is it/there not a thick client?

websync is intended to be running as a service in the background on a server or some other form of always on device running a unix like operating system. That way rsync jobs will run as scheduled and your rsync jobs can be managed remotely.

If you just added the rsync commands to crontab or equivalent, you wouldn't need a running service?

Yes thats true, but then your could not manage rsync jobs remotely and have them all neatly in one place. Also it was easier to pick up the rsync jobs output and display them live this way.
