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?

And I don't want to get involved in the row, really. But it seems like they have a point; Google does a great job, and scanning my email for advertising keywords isn't a big problem, but I would rather it *didn't* become the norm.

That is, not because of the advertising, that's personal preference, as is any other ephemeral data, but that I may want to say things without any chance of that data being aggregated and used.
