Mandelbear, Hello? (It's me draco).

Here are a couple of links that go a little deeper:

https://www.foldershare.com/info/faq/Firewalls.php?#fw01


Delta compression, restartable checkpointed sync, and, most important easy point to point hookup using secure certificates.

Yes, though one could do the same with ssh and a bunch of geek based commands, foldershare lets the masses experience file sharing without the mind numbing configuration hassle. I think this is the salient difference between the linux community and proprietary consumer driven products made by Apple or Microsoft; The former like the neat, compact and option laden approach whereas the latter companies prefer gaining marketshare by making things easier for ordinary folks.
