Bookmark syncrhonisation

[jack]

I use Firefox at home and at work. Is there a way to have common bookmarks between the two?

* There are a couple of firefox plugins (bookmark sort and sync and foxmarks) which puport to do this, but I haven't quite got them to work. I'm not sure if something is inherently wrong.

* Both use ftp, and require an ftp-to-sftp bridge. (Alternatively, interactive http (I can't remember the real name) which the server doesn't. Foxmarks by default stores your bookmarks on their server, but I'd rather not do that. Google does something similar? I have a perfectly good server. And I don't really want to make either of my computers an ftp-server, even indirectly.)

* I could sync the profile bookmark files elsehow. In fact, I generally bookmark something less than once a day, so simply periodically copying the files to/from a remote location would be fine. But it should EITHER be automatic, OR not break if I forget.

* At least one of the computers must be a windows computer.

* It would be *nice* if it could sync most things, but leave the bookmark toolbar alone.

So, it seems like it should be so obvious. But what is the right method? I could have a script which copies the files, but will it break if I go home early and bookmark something?

Well, I looked fairly half heartedly at using my own servers for it, in the end i use google browser sync because it Just Works(TM) and is x-platform, not reliant on me not screwing up my server, etc.

As for the single thing -- well, the obvious. 's all good though, i am in a bizarrely good mood and have been for days!

Must be because you secretly hate me :)

Thanks. Well, maybe I will too. It'll work. But it'll feel wrong; the diffing should be client-side, so anywhere with ftp should work. And Google will be more reliable than my server, but it should not screw up ftp fairly reliably :)

No, we want juicy gossip Well, I'm not surprised you're ok. But hugs (to both) anyway, just in case.
