    Our principal office uses ASIP as our primary file server. We are opening a
    branch office that will run NT as their file server. We would like to
    synchronize many folders between the two servers.

    I have investigated these options; any comments on where to go from here?

    1) Synchronization software on the Mac.

    Synchronize Pro! is a Mac-only solution. Other software seems targeted for
    Web site developers synchronizing from one local machine to a web server.
    I'm not sure they would be sufficiently robust for us.

    (There is a signficant latency between sites. We are in San Francisco, they
    are in Beijing.)

    2) Synchronization software on the NT.

    I'm not an NT person. Should we enable FTP services on the ASIP server and
    try it this way? I know that FTP isn't an encrypted transaction, that is not
    a big problem now; but encryption would be better.

    3) Retrospect.

    Could we perhaps use the "duplicate" function of Retrospect to mirror
    folders?

    Other ideas?

    Thanks,

    Tom
