Is there any software can do this updating files job?

Hi, It is me again, the person who lost some precious code because of the "wrong" operation. .

I am wondering if there is a software like this:

You have two folders who have the same name, one is on your flash drive, the other one is on your mac. You want the software to compare these two folders and offer you to UPDATE files in the same folder. Note that I use word update, not totally change all the files in the folder.

Anybody has any idea on this?

Thanks.

 

Sounds like you want SVN.

Basically it's a software that's hosted on a server. You create files and folders on your computer, then "commit" them in the svn "repository". The repository stores everything you've committed, with a change log. That means if you're currently on version 108 of your software, and you realize that you had a better way of doing things way back when you can go back to version 45 of whatever.

As long as you have the repository address and login/password you can get your files on any computer.

I use it for work every day(actually every hour). It's a huge life saver for when you accidentally delete files or are on a different computer.

 

i just want to be clear on one thing, you have "Folder A" on your flashdrive, and "Folder A" on your computer, inside folder A on both devices is "File 1"? and you want all the contents of that files to be updated?

or, you have Folder A on both devices, and in one of those folders you have File 1, the other File 2, and when you drag a folder to the other location you now want a "Folder A" with files "1 & 2" ?
