INDEXHEAD: PCsync relies on Java-based communication engine

PCsync, recently released from LapLink.com, is a personal file-management application that helps users synchronize folders, transfer files, share files on the Internet, and store files online. The application targets small-business PC users looking for a way to exchange files between PCs. PCsync transfers files in three ways: via LapLink's USB network cable, via Internet file transfers, and via Internet online storage services. PCsync relies on a new Java-based communication engine and uses XML to coordinate the metadata of files. Part of the SpeedSync-enabled product line, PCsync facilitates the synchronization process by transmitting only new data during the file transfer. It costs 9.95.
