Seems this could be adapted to your application, though doing so would be 
closer to trivial if the colleagues in the field were running Linux laptops.

&gt; Hi all,
&gt; 
&gt; This is not strictly a Linux question as much as a
&gt; general technology question.
&gt; 
&gt; Problem : Transparent document sharing
&gt; 
&gt; 1. I have a few colleagues who often travel to client
&gt; sites.
&gt; 2. While away and also while in the office, they
&gt; create documents on their (Windows) laptops.
&gt; 3. I would like to set things up so that the latest
&gt; version of project related documents on their laptops
&gt; are available to the rest of the (local) team.
&gt; 4. It would be best if this happened
&gt; transparently/automatically ;as requiring someone to
&gt; manually check in their documents does not seem to be
&gt; effective.
&gt; 5. While working on their laptop they are not always
&gt; connected to the Internet ... so the synchronization
&gt; mechanism needs to occur whenever they do connect to
&gt; the Internet.
&gt; 
&gt; Solutions
&gt; 1. I was thinking of simple solutions like a script
&gt; that woke up every 5 mins and would scp the documents
&gt; over / send an email with the document as an
&gt; attachment and so on.
&gt; 
&gt; Are there more elegant non-obstrusive ways of doing
&gt; this ?
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks
&gt; Coward
