I have a thumb drive on which I take many of my files with me. I would like to synchronize it with my computer automatically when I connect it. I currently have a script run every time I connect it so that I can do the many things that need to be done when it connects (check for updates to the portable applications, etc.). I want my synchronization utility to:

  • Detect conflicts
  • work correctly when I move files or change the folder structure
  • tell the difference between a file that was deleted on one side and a file that was added on the other
  • work from the command line or at least have a command that will open up a window
  • provide a confirmation screen before doing anything

The Windows Briefcase does all of these except the command line. Is there any program that does all of these, or is there a way to synchronize the briefcase from the command line?
