Fling keeps local, network, FTP folders, and flash drives in sync

Fling is a tiny download - about 230KB - but it's packed with features. It's built for local, network, and FTP folder synchronization, which can be set to manual, automatic scans at regular intervals, or whenever changes are detected. SSL is supported for FTP transfers. Not sure things are up to date? Run the housekeeping task, and Fling will show you what's out of sync.
Fling will also update folders on your removable USB drives whenever they're connected. Since I use one main desktop to download my portable tools but maintain flash drives for four other people, this really comes in handy. Once I have Fling configured, I just need to plug in a tech's drive and let it sync.
There are two more aspects of Fling that make it admin-friendly. First, it can run as a Windows service to keep things running smoothly even when your workstation is locked Second, it also supports command line arguments - handy for batch scripting and integration with other apps.
Fling is made by NCH, so there's also integrated supported for burning folder via ExpressBurn Free. It's a great little burning app with a similarly small footprint. To install it, just choose "burn folder" from Fling's folder menu and follow the prompts.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

After reading the introduction, the functionality looks like DropBox with yourself supply the network storage.

I have been trying to use this program for the last 2 hours. Looks like crap to me.
