Sync your laptop and desktop

Post by allypink »

For those folks who wish to sync their laptop with their desktop or vice versa follow the link below.
One thing you will need to know when syncing your firefox bookmarks it's the file 'places.sqlite', not in the bookmarks.html as prescribed (took me half a day to find that one). Copy of my prf file below as well if this helps. Works very well, quick and easy.

# first root is my home directory on my laptop

# second root directory is my desktop's home folder over SSH
root = ssh://al@add.res.s.sss//home/al/
