Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings configuration in my smb.conf. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ¿ and ¡ ), sometimes doesn’t recognizes filenames (don’t remember exactly which chars), etc.

I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don’t think Samba is what I’m looking for.

I’ll take a closer look into rsync possibilities and see if it applies to my situation. I appreciate your input.

I appreciate your help, but notice that the article just tell some basics of xattrs usage (I already know how to use it), but has no reference of file transfering files, which is what I need.

Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I tried rsync and it works. But is it possible to integrate in my current workflow? Maybe copying/moving files using a file manager?

I’m asking because with the 3 options I mentioned I may, for example, create mount points in fstab and from this there on everything would be transparent to the user. Would it be possible using rsync?

Cantata is an excellent graphical frontend to mpd.

And another Cantata fellow fan posted a fork of the the original project that apparently has been maintained.

Hey, that’s great news!

And to think I’ve been searching so much about Cantata these last few days and didn’t find this github project… although it seems to be the fork of a fork, isn’t it?

I do appreciate your input.

I second that. I’ve been using it for a couple of years, syncing calendars and address book with both my PC and my Android smartphone (using DavX) and never had any problems.
