I have downloaded the Desktop Sync for alfresco onto windows 7 machine and trying to get the program to work on Linux (Centos 6.4) I have read the blog from… http://www.zaizi.com/blog/alfresco-desktop-sync
I know that it was written over a year ago and I'm wondering if they now have Linux support. I'm using Alfresco 4.2.c and when I put in the credentials I can see my test site and a sub folder that I have created. When uploading a via UI it does not sync with the application on the windows 7 machine. I tried doing it the other way and adding a text file in the C:/user/alfresco/[shared folder] and it doesn't show up on the site via UI.
So my question….has there been any changes for offering Linux support? If so, where do I go on fixing this issue? If not, any time frame as to when it might be a possibility?
If you need to sync Alfresco content to your Linux PC, I suggest using <a href="http://cmissync.com/">CmisSync</a>. CmisSync runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and there are plans for mobile as well.
There is a .deb package for Debian/Ubuntu/derivates. Depending on your set up you might have to <a href="https://github.com/aegif/CmisSync/blob/master/CmisSync/Linux/README.md">compile it yourself</a>, which is easy if you can use the Linux terminal a bit. Also, a large computer company is using it on SUSE Linux.
Happy syncing! Nicolas Raoul Disclaimer: I am part of the CmisSync team at Aegif
